| Who’s affected? | UK-based publishers who have received revenue from the sale of online display ads since 1 January 2014 | The US government and the states of Virginia, California, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Tennessee |
| Seeking damages? | Yes: up to £13.6bn | Yes, but only for the US government and eight participating states |
| How far along? | Yet to be certified (confirmed) by the Competition Appeal Tribunal | Filed, but no trial date set |
| When will we have a result? | Unless there is a settlement, a trial will likely come “two or three years” after a certification hearing, which itself will probably be toward the end of 2023. | Unknown: another DOJ antitrust case against Google had its trial set two and a half years after the suit was filed. |
| What does a publisher have to do? | Nothing at present, but publishers can register to get updates at the claim's website, adtechclaim.co.uk. Should the claim be certified, the claimants will solicit information from publishers so they can assess damages to revenue; this would also be when publishers who wished to do so will need to opt out. | Sit back and watch. |
