Nov. 6 Trial Date Set in Google Play Store Multidistrict Litigation

A final pretrial conference is set for Oct. 19 in the multidistrict antitrust litigation involving the Google Play Store, said an order (docket 3:21-md-02981) signed Tuesday by U.S. District Judge James Donato for Northern California in San Francisco. Jury selection is to begin Nov. 6, said the order. Seventy plaintiffs in the consolidated cases, including three dozen states and D.C., allege Google monopolized the market for the distribution of Android mobile apps through the Google Play Store.
