Google seeks to overturn Epic Games’ earlier court victory that would see the tech giant forced to open its app store to third-party marketplaces and payments.
Google asked a United States appeals court to toss a lower court’s ruling in Epic Games’ antitrust suit that would force it to allow third-party app stores and payment solutions through its Play Store marketplace.
The lower court decision would open Google’s app store and apps to other payment systems, including crypto-supporting ones.
Google argued in a 110-page filing to the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court on Nov. 27 that the California federal court decision would “directly undercut Google’s efforts to compete against Apple and the iPhone.”
