Judges at the European Union's top court dismissed an appeal by Google over a landmark, 4.1 billion euro ($4.5 billion) antitrust fine imposed for throttling competition and reducing consumer choice through the dominance of its mobile Android operating system.

Google then appealed to the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union, Europe's highest.
