Teads sues Google for damages after federal antitrust ruling

Teads Holding Co. (NASDAQ: TEAD) has filed a lawsuit against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking financial damages and other legal remedies related to anticompetitive conduct in digital advertising technology markets.

The lawsuit follows a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, which found that Google LLC had engaged in unlawful anticompetitive practices and monopolistic conduct in certain digital advertising technology markets.

Teads' complaint alleges that Google's ad tech practices restricted fair competition across digital advertising markets, limiting growth and revenue for independent platforms, publishers, and advertisers.

"For years, Google used its dominance to suppress fair competition and distort the digital ad tech ecosystem to its own advantage. We filed this action to recover the financial damages caused to our business and restore a transparent, competitive marketplace for publishers and advertisers," said David Kostman, Chief Executive Officer of Teads.

Teads is represented by the law firm Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C. A copy of the complaint was filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2026.
