Google (GOOG. O) unlawfully monopolized two markets for online advertising technology, a U.S. federal judge said Thursday, in another blow to the tech giant in an antitrust case filed in the United States. The ruling could give prosecutors grounds to demand a break-up of Google's advertising products. The Department of Justice said Google should at least sell its ad manager products, which include the company's publisher ad server business and ad exchange platform. Google could now face two different U.S. court orders to sell assets or change its business conduct. The Department of Justice has asked Google to sell its Chrome browser and take other steps to end its dominance in online search, and a judge in Washington is set to hold a trial on the request next week.
