US appeals court declines Google bid to further pause Play store overhaul in Epic Games case

The 9th Circuit court upheld reforms requiring Google to allow rival app stores and payment methods, citing evidence of anticompetitive conduct by Google, which faces up to 10 months to comply.

  • A federal appeals court denied Google's request to delay a permanent injunction in its antitrust case with Epic Games.
  • The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's decision upholds the core of the previous injunction, which found that Google illegally monopolized the Android app-distribution market.
  • The injunction is aimed at restoring competition in the Android app-distribution market and includes provisions requiring Google to alter its app store handling.
  • Google intends to file a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court regarding the decision within 45 days.
