This ruling has no trading implications. Monitor for future substantive rulings on the preliminary injunction or counterclaim amendments in the underlying case, which could involve Google's chip technology. The separate June 5 capital raise filing ($44.6B) remains the more significant near-term event for GOOG shares.
