That illustration, Yelp argued, included communications between counsel and federal antitrust enforcement officers concerning Google’s enterprise practices and the way that alleged conduct impacted Yelp’s enterprise selections, in accordance with the opinion filed Oct. 16 within the U.S. District Courtroom for the Japanese District of Virginia.
