WASHINGTON DC: Microsoft Corp, Oracle Corp and other companies that have provided information to the US government for its antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet's Google were granted more time on Nov 11 to propose a protective order for their confidential data.

The group, which also includes AT&T Inc, Amazon.com, Comcast Corp, Duck Duck Go Inc, Sonos Inc, and T-Mobile US Inc, had told federal Judge Amit Mehta that they would not be able to make proposals by Nov 13 and had sought an extension until Nov 20. Mehta granted their request late Nov 11.
