WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday handed Google a major victory by declaring, after an investigation of nearly two years, that the company had not violated antitrust or anticompetition statutes in the way it arranges its Web search results.

By allowing Google to continue to present search results that highlight its own services, the F.T.C. decision could enable Google to further strengthen its already dominant position on the Internet.

It also enables Google to avoid a costly and lengthy legal war of attrition like the antitrust battle that Microsoft waged in the 1990s. That fight took an enormous toll on Microsoft and opened the door for competitors like Google to become the technology sector’s new leaders. Now, a weakened Microsoft was among those most vocal in complaining that Google was unfairly abusing a monopolistic position to thwart its rivals.

......

Competitors said the war was not over. Fairsearch.org, a group of Google rivals including Microsoft, said Thursday’s action left the F.T.C. “without a major role in the final resolution to the investigations of Google’s anticompetitive practices by state attorneys general and the European Commission. The F.T.C.’s inaction on the core question of search bias will only embolden Google to act more aggressively to misuse its monopoly power to harm other innovators.”

In a less-watched part of the investigation, which will have a less direct impact on consumers, the commission found that Google had misused its broad patents on cellphone technology (即从砍手厂买的那些), and it ordered Google to make that technology available to rivals. That order may benefit phone manufacturers that use either Google’s Android operating system or competing systems. Some F.T.C. officials said that in the long run, the sanctions could be a bigger victory for consumers, encouraging the development of more innovative devices.

谷歌摆脱美国政府反垄断诉讼

网易财经1月4日讯 据华尔街日报报道，美国联邦贸易委员会(Federal Trade Commission, 简称FTC)周四完成了对谷歌(Google Inc., GOOG)耗时已久的反垄断调查，但并没有提出重要指控。FTC表示，已经接受谷歌对搜索业务进行自愿更改的提议。

谷歌还同意就FTC的另一项指控达成和解。FTC此前指控，谷歌在收购摩托罗拉移动(Motorola Mobility)时获得了关键的移动设备专利，该公司对这些专利的不当使用妨碍了市场竞争。

FTC还表示，谷歌已经同意给予在线广告商更多灵活性，同时还将逐步停止对竞争对手在线内容的不适当使用。

在专利权相关和解中，谷歌同意向移动设备竞争对手发放公平合理的许可。这些竞争对手的产品使用谷歌专利涵盖的基本无线技术。按照和解条款的要求，谷歌不应利用旗下重要专利来寻求法庭禁令，阻止竞争对手产品的销售。

FTC主席Jon Leibowitz在新闻发布会上表示，没有证据支持FTC对谷歌提出全面的反垄断诉讼。
