Apple seeks Supreme Court review of contempt finding and injunction scope in Epic Games case
Apple has filed a request with the Supreme Court to review a contempt finding related to its legal battle with Epic Games. The case centers on whether Apple violated an injunction by charging commissions on purchases made outside its App Store. Apple argues that the injunction did not explicitly prohibit such charges and seeks to clarify the scope of the ruling.
- ▪Apple is appealing a contempt finding from a lower court regarding its App Store practices.
- ▪The legal dispute with Epic Games began in 2020 when Epic bypassed Apple's In-App Purchase system.
- ▪The Ninth Circuit upheld the contempt finding but acknowledged that the injunction did not specifically address commissions.
