- A US jury has ruled in favor of Epic in its long-running battle against Google.
- The jury found that the Play Store and Play Store billing were an illegal monopoly.
- Google has confirmed its plan to challenge the verdict.
Epic has been embroiled in a legal battle against Google for a few years now over allegations that the Play Store and Play Store billing was an illegal monopoly. Now, a jury has ruled in favor of Epic, handing the company a major win.
The US jury answered “yes” to all questions posed by the court (h/t: The Verge), namely that the Play Store and Play Store billing was a monopoly, that Google engaged in “anticompetitive conduct” to gain or maintain this monopoly, and that Epic was “injured” as a result of Google’s aforementioned conduct.
