This Week On Google Law

The line to sue Google begins on Wall Street and, like Google stock, has been growing exponentially since the company went public. The latest pair of Jack Horners trying to get their thumbs in the Google pie are Miami-based Updated.com and Minnesota-based CLRB Hanson Industries, both filing in California courts last week amid allegations of advertising misconduct. Just in time for SES Conference buzzworthiness, both companies filed suit in or near San Jose, claiming Google, in one way or another, is in breach of contract. In the first suit, filed by Updated.com on August 1st, the comparison shopping search engine alleges Google hasn't fairly compensated it for advertising revenue.
