Google has sought to overturn Epic Games’ earlier court win that would see the tech giant forced to open its app store to third-party marketplaces and payments.
Google has 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 app marketplace, Play Store.
The lower court decision was set to open Google’s app store and apps to other payment systems, including crypto-supporting ones.
However, Google argued in a 110-page filing to the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court on Nov. 27 that a California federal court judge’s decision “will directly undercut Google’s efforts to compete against Apple and the iPhone.”
