For more than six years, NP and its co-counsel in the matter Woods v. Google Inc.<\/em>, Case No. 11-cv-1263, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, have been prosecuting claims against Google related to its AdWords advertising program.\u00a0 Woods alleges that Google systematically overcharged advertisers for years in violation of their agreement and sent advertisements outside the areas advertisers wanted but lied about where the clicks were coming from.\u00a0 Google attempted to escape liability for these claims by motion for summary judgment.\u00a0 NP defeated this motion on September 28, 2017, when the Court entered its order granting-in-part and denying-in-part the motion.\u00a0 The Court rejected Google\u2019s arguments as to Woods\u2019 breach of contract claim related to \u201cSmart Pricing\u201d discounts Google was supposed to provide and Woods\u2019 Unfair Competition Law claim for misrepresenting where Google would send advertisements.<\/p>\n

NP utilized the extensive documentary support and deposition testimony they have developed over the last six years to defeat the motion.\u00a0 While most of this evidence currently remains under seal, the Court found that it presented clear fact issues for trial.\u00a0 The case is now able to proceed to the class certification stage and trial so that Woods and the putative class may obtain the relief they have been seeking for so long.<\/p>\n

The Plaintiff is represented by NP partners Michael Angelovich, Jeffrey Angelovich, Bradley Beckworth, and Drew Pate.<\/p>\n

A copy of the Court’s order denying summary judgment on most of plaintiff’s claims can be viewed below:<\/p>\n
