On 16 April 2013, the French Supreme Court upheld the Paris Court of Appeals decision of 16 November 2011, thus confirming that Google did not abuse its dominant position.
E-Kanopi is a French company that runs a search engine as well as thematic sites providing information on various topics: weather, companies’ financial data, phone listings and pensions. E-Kanopi subscribed to a Google AdSense account in January 2007 for its websites iadah.com and iadah.net and a Google AdWords account in January 2010 for its other websites.
In May 2010, Google suspended the two accounts, claiming that E-Kanopi had set up a fraudulent scheme violating AdWords and AdSense terms of use regarding traffic sources, malicious software and sale of free articles.
