Sodišče v Stockholmu je Googleu, hčerinski družbi Alphabet Inc., naložilo plačilo 14,3 milijarde švedskih kron (približno 31,3 milijarde čeških kron) v odškodnino podjetju PriceRunner, ki upravlja spletno storitev primerjave cen. Sodišče je ugotovilo, da je Google nezakonito favoriziral svojo lastno storitev primerjave cen v rezultatih iskanja več let, s čimer je kršil zakone o konkurenci.
Odločba je ena največjih odškodnin, ki jih je kdajkoli izdalo švedsko sodišče v zadevi, ki vključuje kršitev poštene konkurence. Medtem ko je PriceRunner sprva zahteval 22 milijard švedskih kron, je dodeljeni znesek - vključno z obrestmi - približno 19 milijard švedskih kron (približno 41,6 milijarde čeških kron).
Sodni postopek proti Googlu je bil sprožen po tem, ko je Evropsko sodišče v letu 2021 potrdilo ugotovitev Evropske komisije iz leta 2017, da je Google kršil pravila EU o konkurenci, saj je v rezultatih iskanja favoriziral svojo storitev primerjave nakupov. Od takrat je več podjetij, ki jih je prizadela Googleova praksa, vložilo tožbe za odškodnino.
Google se ni strinjal z odločitvijo sodišča in je dejal, da bo odločbo pregledal, preden bo razmislil o svojih pravnih možnostih.
PriceRunner je hčerinska družba Klarna, švedskega podjetja za finančno tehnologijo. Klarna je sprejela sodno odločitev, vendar je priznala, da lahko traja nekaj časa, preden prejme kakršno koli plačilo. Po mnenju pravnega zastopnika Klarna, Pontusa Scherpa, bi se lahko možnost prejemanja odškodnine odložila zaradi morebitnih pritožb Googla. Ocenil je, da bi postopek pritožbe lahko trajal več kot leto, morda celo več let.
Ta primer poudarja širši trend regulativnega nadzora nad tehnološkimi velikani, kot je Google, zlasti glede njihove prevlade na digitalnih trgih. Izid tega primera lahko vpliva na prihodnje pravne ukrepe proti Googlu v drugih jurisdikcijah in vzpostavi precedens za obravnavo podobnih kršitev na svetovni ravni.

ČT24Državni / javniSredinaDejstva 95Objektivnost 90pred 5 dneviThe Stockholm Patent and Market Court has ruled that American tech giant Google, part of Alphabet Inc., must pay 14.3 billion Swedish kronor (approximately 31.3 billion Czech koruna) in compensation to PriceRunner, a price comparison website operated by Klarna. The court found that Google had unlawfully favored its own price comparison service in search results for many years, violating competition rules. PriceRunner initially sought a much higher amount—up to 78 billion Swedish kronor—but the final sum awarded includes interest and reflects ongoing alleged violations. This ruling follows a European Union decision in 2017 confirming similar findings against Google. Similar lawsuits have been filed in Germany, the UK, and Italy, where other price comparison platforms have also claimed damages. Google has stated it disagrees with the ruling and plans to explore legal options.

The ruling stems from allegations that Google violated competition laws by favoring its own price comparison service in search results. While Google disagrees with the decision and plans to review its legal options, the case follows a European Union court's confirmation in 2021 that Google had broken EU competition rules in 2017. PriceRunner initially sought a much higher compensation of 22 billion SEK but accepted the reduced amount after considering interest and ongoing violations. Similar lawsuits against Google have occurred in Germany, the UK, and Italy, where other price comparison platforms have also claimed damages. Klarna welcomed the ruling but noted that payment might be delayed due to potential appeals.
