Teads Holding Co. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. seeking financial damages and other legal remedies.

The lawsuit follows a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia that found Google LLC had engaged in unlawful anticompetitive practices and monopolistic conduct in certain digital advertising technology markets. Teads' complaint states that Google's exclusionary ad tech practices restricted fair competition across digital advertising markets, limiting growth and revenue potential for independent platforms, publishers, and advertisers.

David Kostman, Chief Executive Officer of Teads, said the company filed the action to recover financial damages caused to its business and restore a transparent, competitive marketplace for publishers and advertisers.
