Apple Inc and other technology companies said confidential material they provided for the US government’s antitrust probe of Alphabet Inc’s Google should not be shared with the search giant’s in-house lawyers because the information is too sensitive.

In a filing on Nov 20 in federal court in Washington DC, United States, Apple said it gave the US Justice Department "competitively sensitive” documents and that allowing lawyers inside Google to see the information would result in "material harm” to Apple. A similar joint filing was made by Amazon.com Inc, AT&T Inc, Microsoft Corp, Oracle Corp, Comcast Corp, Sonos Inc, Duck Duck Go Inc and T-Mobile US Inc.
