"Today, it's finally elevated its Epic v. Google case, the one that might fracture its control over the entire Android app ecosystem, to the Supreme Court level. Google has now confirmed it will appeal its case to the Supreme Court, and in the meanwhile, it's asking the Court to press pause one more time on the permanent injunction that would start taking away its control."
"On September 12th, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that permanent injunction and gave Google until October to stop forcing app developers to use its Google Play Billing for payments, allow them to link to other ways to pay and other places to download apps, set their own prices, and more. But the Supreme Court might see it differently."
Google elevated the Epic v. Google case to the Supreme Court and confirmed it will seek certiorari while requesting a stay of a permanent injunction. The Ninth Circuit affirmed that injunction on September 12, giving Google until October to stop forcing developers to use Google Play Billing, allow links to alternative payment methods and download sources, and permit developers to set their own prices. Google argues the lower courts overstepped and cites potential relevance of Epic v. Apple. Google plans to file for certiorari by October 27, 2025 and asks the Court to rule on a stay by October 17. A district judge scheduled an October 30 hearing on compliance.
