**Google makes lots of money but has had a miserable year in court**, and its judicial travails are far from over, reports The Washington Post.

In the waning days of 2023, a federal jury in San Francisco declared [Google’s app store](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/12/11/epic-google-trial-verdict/?itid=lk%5Finline%5Fmanual%5F3&ref=capitolcommunicator.com) an illegal monopoly. In August, a federal judge in D.C. made the same determination for the keystone of its more than $300 billion in annual revenue: [the Google search engine](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/08/05/doj-google-monopoly-trial-judgment/?itid=lk%5Finline%5Fmanual%5F3&ref=capitolcommunicator.com). And on Monday, the company goes on trial again, in Virginia, this time on monopoly charges related to its online advertising business.

According to The Post: “Monopoly charges of that magnitude are a rarity. Google is one of only a handful of corporate giants to be taken to court since the 1970s under federal monopoly law. For decades since, U.S. officials have treated high-tech companies gingerly, leery of damaging the nation’s economic engines and of punishing exemplars of innovation and free enterprise.”

Judges in San Francisco and Washington are now mulling what so-called remedies to impose on Google to restore competition in the markets for app stores and online search, adds The Post.
