CHEGG, INC. v. GOOGLE LLC

Education technology company Chegg sued Google in February 2025 in Washington D.C. federal court, alleging violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act related to Google's AI Overview feature. The complaint alleges reciprocal dealing, monopoly maintenance, and unjust enrichment. According to Chegg's filing, Google's AI summaries appear at the top of search results and reduce click-throughs to publisher websites. Chegg reported a 24% year-over-year revenue decline in its earnings announcement coinciding with the lawsuit filing.

The case is assigned to Judge Amit Mehta, who presided over the Department of Justice's antitrust case against Google in 2024. Google has filed a motion to dismiss.

The case remains pending.
