Google seeks court help to limit information sharing in state antitrust investigation

Google turned to a Texas court for help Thursday, fearing that a multistate antitrust probe could allow its rivals to gain access to sensitive information.

Driving the news: Google sought a protective order to limit the sharing of its confidential information in the states' antitrust investigation.

The big picture: Antitrust investigators rely on information from both the targets and their rivals to build cases, but Google doesnt want its competitors to gain an edge through sensitive material it's forced to hand over.
