Google just asked the Supreme Court to save it from the Epic ruling
“The Supreme Court is Google’s last hope to avoid an epic calculation in October,” I wrote last week. Google apparently agrees. Today he has finally raised his Epic c. Google Case, the one who could fracture his control over the entire Android application ecosystem, at the Supreme Court level. Google has now confirmed that he would appeal to his file before the Supreme Court, and in the meantime, he asks the court to take a break more once again on the permanent injunction which would begin to take control.
On September 12, the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed this permanent injunction and gave Google until October to stop forcing application developers to use its Google Play invoicing for payments, allow them to link other ways of paying and other places to download applications, set their own prices, etc.
But the Supreme Court could see it differently. This could agree with the Google argument that the lower courts have exceeded, or that Apple’s victory Epic c. Apple is relevant to the Google case, or any number of other arguments that you can read in the full document below.
Google says it will use the Supreme Court of Certiorari entirely by October 27, 2025 and asks the Supreme Court to decide if it will take a break from the injunction by October 17. Meanwhile, the district court judge who issued the injunction, judge James Donato, asks Google and Epic to explain how they will comply with his hearing on October 30.
