Epic files U.S. Supreme Court appeal in Apple antitrust case

Epic has filed a Writ of Certiorari asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a lower court’s ruling on its antitrust case against Apple.

The petition is asking the Supreme Court to rule on broader antitrust questions as governed by the Sherman Act. Epic argues that restraints on business “that have both pro- and anticompetitive effects is unlawful if a ‘less-restrictive alternative’ will achieve the same benefits while harming competition less.”
