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

SerpApi, a company founded in 2017 that provides programmatic access to public search results, filed an amicus brief on August 4, 2026, in the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust case against Google (U.S. v. Google), supporting the remedies ordered by Judge Mehta to restore competition in search. SerpApi argues that the remedies, including data-sharing and search syndication requirements, give companies like itself a realistic path to compete, noting that more than twenty companies are now building their own search indices.

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. You can read the filing here:
