Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has approved Apple and Epic’s request to temporarily postpone key deadlines in their long-running App Store dispute. Here are the details.
Judge signs off on short delay
Last week, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear Apple’s appeal on whether it could be held in contempt for violating the “spirit” of an injunction that did not explicitly prohibit it from charging commissions on purchases made through external links.
That was part of the long-running dispute between Apple and Epic Games, which was also set to continue in the lower court, where Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers would reconsider what commission, if any, Apple may charge on purchases made through external links.
When the Supreme Court decided to take up Apple’s appeal, the company signaled that it would ask the lower court to pause its proceedings until the justices issue a ruling.
