( February 15, 2025, 01:43 GMT | Official Statement) — MLex Summary: Anthropic told a US federal court it was “blindsided” by a remedy proposal put forth by the Department of Justice and coalition of states in their monopolization lawsuit against Google because it required “Google to (among other things) divest any interest in any company that controls an ‘AI Product’.” In a motion for leave to participate in the remedial phase of the case, Anthropic told the US District Court for the District of Columbia that “a remedy that requires Google to terminate its relationship with Anthropic would harm both Anthropic and competition more generally.” Google is a minority investor with non-voting shares, no board representation and no exclusive rights to any of Anthropic’s products or innovations, the filing said. Google took no position on Anthropic’s motion.See attached document….
