Stockholm's Patent and Market Court ordered Google to pay PriceRunner approximately $1.97 billion in antitrust damages. The court ruled that Google manipulated search results to favor its own comparison shopping service over competitors. This anti-competitive behavior resulted in lost revenue for PriceRunner.
Klarna acquired PriceRunner in 2022. The company pursued the case following a 2017 European Commission ruling that found Google breached EU antitrust laws. The judgment remains subject to a potential appeal by Google.
