French Web Mapping Firm Sues Google Over Google Maps

Bottin Cartographes filed a complaint in Paris commercial court against Google France and U.S. parent Google Inc. The basis of the complaint: “Google strategy is aimed at undercutting competitors by temporarily swallowing the full cost until it gains control of the market.” In particular,  “Google is undercutting the market by offering map services to some companies for internal use for free – if they use Google Maps on their internet site,” according to one report.

Bottin seeks 500,000 euros (706,000 dollars) in damages.
