Google Files 4,761-Page Appeal of Indian Ads Trademark Ruling

Google appealed a Delhi High Court decision on July 7, submitting a 4,761-page filing that challenges findings its ads platform enabled trademark infringement by allowing rivals to bid on brand keywords. The move follows a bruising week in Europe where a Swedish court ordered Google to pay Klarna-owned PriceRunner $1.97 billion in antitrust damages for search favoritism and the EU Court of Justice upheld a €4.1 billion Android fine. Alphabet had already provisioned for the EU penalty in 2018, limiting earnings impact, while shares showed resilience despite the cascade of legal setbacks across jurisdictions.
