Kelkoo CEO Awaits Final Verdict in Decade-Long Google Shopping Case
After a decade-long battle, Rich Stables, CEO of Kelkoo Group, awaits the final verdict in the Google Shopping case later this year. The case, which began in 2011, alleges Google's self-preferencing behavior harmed competition. Kelkoo Group, once a thriving comparison-shopping service, has been at the forefront of this fight. It has lobbied tirelessly for fair digital markets, engaging in dialogue with global regulators to curb monopolist behavior and restore competition. Stables, who has been involved in the case for over a decade, supports Advocate General Kokott's opinion to dismiss Google's appeal and uphold the €2.42bn fine. Kelkoo Group believes this opinion validates its claims, confirming that Google's self-preferencing practices disadvantaged competitors like them. The final verdict in the Google Shopping case is expected later this year. Kelkoo Group, as one of the lead complainants, awaits the outcome, hoping it will bring an end to Google's alleged monopolistic practices and restore fair competition in the digital market.
