Abstract

The article focuses on Alphabet Inc.'s Google requesting the US Supreme Court to pause a lower court's order that mandates changes to its app store policies in an antitrust case initiated by Epic Games Inc., the maker of Fortnite. Google argues that the order, set to take effect on October 22, could cause "irreparable harm" to its Android ecosystem while it seeks a review from the Supreme Court. The case stems from a July ruling by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which requires Google to allow app developers to establish rival marketplaces and billing systems. Epic Games has criticized Google's claims regarding user safety and innovation, asserting that the court's injunction should proceed to foster competition and lower prices for consumers.
