💨 Abstract

A federal appeals court has upheld a jury ruling that Google's Android app store is an illegal monopoly.

The ruling compels Google to dismantle barriers restricting App Store competition allowing the open distribution of Android apps. Google had argued this threatens user security, but Epic disputed this. In parallel, Google is contending with U.S.
