Alphabet's Google must share data with rivals to open up competition in online search, a judge in Washington ruled, while rejecting prosecutors' bid to make the internet giant sell off its popular Chrome browser and Android operating system.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressed concerns at trial in the case in April that the data-sharing measures sought by the US Department of Justice could enable Google's rivals to reverse-engineer its technology.
Google has said previously that it plans to file an appeal, which means it could take years before the company is required to act on the ruling.
US District Judge Amit Mehta also barred Google from entering into exclusive agreements that would prohibit device makers from preinstalling rival products on new devices.
