US Supreme Court to hear Apple appeal of contempt in Epic Games lawsuit
WASHINGTON: The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear Apple’s bid to escape being found in contempt in its legal fight with “Fortnite” maker Epic Games after the iPhone maker was deemed in violation of a judicial order mandating sweeping changes to its lucrative App Store in the antitrust litigation.
The justices took up Apple’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling upholding a decision by Oakland, California-based U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers finding Apple in contempt in Epic’s 2020 lawsuit contesting App Store fees.
