Callsome Solutions Inc. v. Google LLC (No. 652386/2014, N. Y. Sup. Ct. (Comm. Div.), N. Y. Cnty.), representing an Israeli startup app developer litigating claims of tortious interference and trade libel against Google for unfairly banning an app product from its Play Store.  After years of vigorous litigation, Mr. Bronson achieved a lucrative confidential settlement after exposing Google’s serious discovery abuse and obtaining almost $200,000 in sanctions and the Court’s criticism of Google’s bad faith conduct and the “chutzbah” of its arguments against discovery sanctions.  Callsome CEO Zach Sivan said of Mr. Bronson’s advocacy: 

“Kent is incredibly smart, creative, and diligent, and his work ethic is unparalleled.  Despite facing a much larger law firm with a significantly higher budget, Kent demonstrated tremendous courage and determination. His hard work and strategic thinking helped us achieve a victory against the odds.”  

Although not raising direct antitrust claims, the Callsome case was specifically referenced by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee (Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial & Administrative Law) in its 2020 Competition in Digital Markets Investigation Report, concerning the claims of Google’s unfair attempts to squash competition from Callsome to a rival established app developer favored by Google.
