Google asks US court to stay injunction pending rehearing in Epic Games suit

( August 9, 2025, 00:05 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Google asked a US appeals court for a stay of the permanent injunction imposed on it in a lawsuit involving app store monopolization brought by Epic Games, pending a forthcoming petition for rehearing and appeals to the Supreme Court, if necessary.
