Supreme Court lehnt Apples Berufung im Fall Epic ab

Der Oberste Gerichtshof der USA hat die Annahme von Apples Berufung in dessen langjährigem Rechtsstreit mit Epic Games verweigert. Die Entscheidung bestätigt das Urteil einer unteren Instanz, wonach Apple gegen eine einstweilige Verfügung verstoßen hat, indem es Zahlungsoptionen von Drittanbietern auf iOS-Geräten einschränkte.

Richterin Elena Kagan lehnte die Berufung am 6. Mai ab und verwies den Fall an das Northern California District Court zurück. Das 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hatte zuvor entschieden, dass Apple gegen eine Anordnung aus dem Jahr 2023 verstoßen hat, die einen einfacheren Zugang zu Drittanbieter-Shops für In-Game-Käufe wie Fortnite V-Bucks forderte.
