BRUSSELS—Alphabet Inc.'s Google has won a U.K. court case filed by online mapping company Streetmap.EU Ltd, who alleged the U.S. technology company was skewing search results in favor of its own mapping product, the prosecution's lawyers said Friday.

The decision comes as the European Commission, the bloc's antitrust regulator, is investigating the way Google displays search results in areas where it offers services including mapping, travel and local guides.

Last April, the European Union filed formal charges against Alphabet's Google for displaying results in a way that favors its comparison-shopping service.

"The court made clear that we're focused on improving the quality of our search results," a Google spokesman said.

Lawyers representing Streetmap said they would appeal the decision.
