A ruling issued July 8 by the EU General Court has closed the last legal route for Google to delay binding orders on its Android AI integration layer and search data vault, leaving the European Commission holding a July 27 deadline that will produce the first regulatory definition of competitive AI assistant access on a mobile operating system. The court dismissed all three of Apple's gatekeeper designation challenges under the Digital Markets Act, establishing that a designated gatekeeper cannot seek judicial review of a DMA obligation before the Commission has issued a specific enforcement decision. This rule means Google cannot obtain a pre-emptive injunction against two specification proceedings now 18 days from their statutory deadline. After July 27, services like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude may gain legally enforceable rights to the same wake-word invocation system, long-press gesture entry points, and on-screen context awareness that Google reserves for its own Gemini assistant. The EU General Court in Luxembourg, sitting in its Eighth Chamber with five judges, issued the ruling on July 8, confirming the App Store and iOS remain subject to DMA obligations and ruling Apple's iMessage challenge inadmissible.
