In September 2024, the European Court of Justice upheld the European Commission’s decision finding that Google had abused its dominant position in online search markets by favoring its own shopping service over those of its competitors in its general search results. The judgment addressed several of the most contested issues regarding the meaning of Article 102 and its enforcement.

Thomas Vinje will discuss the recent judgment and its meaning for the application of Article 102. Thomas represented the international trade association FairSearch in this case before the European Commission and the original complainant in the case (Foundem) before the European General Court and the Court of Justice.

The seminar is scheduled for November 12th, from 10:15 to 12:00, at The Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, in Auditorium 3. For further details about the seminar, please follow the link.
