Earlier Apple Inc asked a U.S. federal judge to put on hold orders that could require it to change some of its App Store practices. It also said that it is also appealing the ruling in an antitrust case brought by “Fortnite” creator Epic Games, according to court filings. As a result, Epic Games now Opposes Apple’s Effort to Pause Antitrust Trial Orders
Epic Games Opposes Apple to Pause Antitrust Trial Orders
Apple has until Dec. 9 to comply with the injunction, but earlier this month the company said it will appeal the ruling and asked Gonzalez Rogers to put her order on hold as the appeals process, which could take more than a year, unfolds. Epic on Friday argued in a court filing that Apple has not met the legal standard for that pause, which requires Apple to show that it will be irreparably harmed by even temporarily complying with the order if the injunction is later reversed on appeal. Epic said that Apple s positive comments about the ruling shortly after it landed, and its delay in asking for a pause, showed that it would not be harmed by enacting the orders.
