Google Inc. dropped its lawsuit alleging that the bidding requirements for a $59.3 million contract to supply e-mail services to the U.S. Interior Department unfairly favored Microsoft Corp.
Google sought to end the lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims after the Interior Department said it would reopen competition. U.S. Federal Claims Judge Susan Braden in Washington said in a ruling today that dismissal of the case is in “the interests of justice.”
