Google to face lawsuit from Epic over its mobile app store, FT reports

The attempt by Epic Games to open Apple (AAPL) and Google’s (GOOGL;GOOG) mobile app stores is set for another courtroom showdown on Monday, as it goes to trial in San Francisco, Richard Waters of The Financial Times reports. This comes at the same time that Google is defending itself in an antitrust case from the Department of Justice in a Washington DC court. Epic lost most of its claims in a similar case against Apple in 2021 before failing on an appeal earlier this year. However, the differences in circumstances in the Google trial have added a degree of unpredictability.
