On April 17, a U.S. federal judge said on Thursday that Google (GOOG.O) illegally monopolized two markets for online advertising technology, which is another blow to the tech giant in an antitrust case filed in the United States. This ruling could justify prosecutors to request the spin-off of Google’s advertising products. The U.S. Department of Justice said Google should at least sell its Ad Manager products, which include the company’s publisher ad server business and ad exchange. Google may now face two different U.S. courts ordering it to sell assets or change its business practices. A judge in Washington is set to hold a trial next week on the demand that the U.S. Department of Justice has asked Google to sell its Chrome browser and take other steps to end its dominance in online search.
