French search engine company 1PlusV said it is suing Google before the Paris Commercial Court, claiming that the search provider is abusing its dominant market position by demoting or blocking rival services.
1plusV, which makes a host of niche search engines for French speakers, claims Google blacklisted 30 of its search engines from its search results from 2007 to 2010. Though 1plusV said some have recently been "white-listed," the company believes it suffered irreparable damage.
The company said it would seek $423 million in damages from the search giant.
"We have only just received the complaint so we can’t comment in detail yet," Google’s Brussels spokesman Al Verney said.
Google’s search and advertisement practices are also being examined by US competition authorities in addition to the EU probe.
