Hausfield announces proposed $90M settlement with Google Play Store

Law firm Hausfield has moved for preliminary approval of a $90 million settlement on behalf of developers in a case against Google. The case is an antitrust litigation case and accuses Google of anticompetitive conduct and unlawful practices. The accusations focus specifically on the Google Play Store, where Google requires developers to pay a 30% tax to Google on revenue from paid apps and in-app purchases.

The $90M settlement is on behalf of app developers with less than $2 million in annual sales. As it happens, that’s most of them.
