The federal judge overseeing the Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Books case is willing to give the company and the plaintiffs until Nov. 9 to come up with a U.S. settlement that works. The original proposed settlement ran into problems with the U.S. Department of Justice, which saw some potential antitrust issues with the proposed $125 million settlement. The proposed settlement already had been adjusted several times. Judge Denny Chin has been trying to give the parties enough room to come to terms; AP reports that lawyers for U.S. publishers and authors expect to have a deal in place by the new deadline. That won’t resolve Google’s issues in other arenas, including the European Union and France.
