We Filed an Amicus Brief in U.S. v. Google

On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, we filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust case against Google (U.S. v. Google). Google is appealing the federal district court's findings that it maintained its search monopoly through unlawful exclusive distribution agreements as well as the remedies Judge Mehta ordered to restore competition, including data-sharing and search syndication requirements.

SerpApi was founded in 2017 to solve a need in the market: programmatic access to public search results. Researchers, developers, labs, and companies building AI products rely on that access to do their work. That need has only become more acute as Google has increased its anticompetitive behavior.

Last year, a federal court found that Google has maintained its dominance in search through unlawful monopolistic conduct, and we filed this brief because we believe the remedies Judge Mehta ordered give companies like ours a realistic path to compete. There are now more than twenty companies building their own search indices, SerpApi among them. We think that competition is worth protecting.
