FTC and DOJ To Participate in Google’s Custom Time Electronic Filing Program
Google just rolled out its much anticipated “custom time” email feature, allowing users to backdate emails. This feature has proven successful in auctions and first-come-first-serve raffles. The Pre-Merger Office is expected to announce that it will accept HSR filings submitted through the Google program. An unnamed spokesperson for the PNO confirmed:
The Google/PNO program helps streamline the HSR process. We expect a sharp decline in corrective filings. Moreover, it will now be possible to obtain early termination prior to the submission of the HSR form.Check out Google’s press release addressing this significant process innovation.
