Google loses in US Ninth Circuit as injunction decision affirmed in Epic Games suit

( July 31, 2025, 17:31 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed a jury verdict and a lower court's entry of a permanent injunction against Google in an antitrust lawsuit brought by Epic Games following the removal of Epic’s Fortnite video game from the Google Play Store. In the opinion, the panel rejected Google’s claim that a decision in Apple’s favor in a lawsuit Epic filed at the same time against Apple precludes Epic from defining the market differently in this case. "The panel held that the district court didn't abuse its discretion in proceeding with a jury trial on Epic’s equitable claims and Google’s damages counterclaims," the judges said. They also held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to give a single-brand aftermarket jury instruction or in its framing of a rule-of-reason instruction.See attached document...
