US Court Apple, accept external payment
The Auckland Federal Court, California, USA, is a decision that he was a behavior that represents that Apple does not purchase applications (apps) through a path other than the App Store. It is only 10 days that the anti-application revision of the In-app billing forces called Google's Bulk Prevention Act in the Korean National Assembly is passed.
Apple has received a fee of 30% of the existing app payment, but according to this ruling, it has been a situation that the developers must allow developers to put the links for external payments in the app in the minimum of 90 days.
The background of this measure was a lawsuit for Apple in August last August. In addition to introducing a payment system that directly pays for the Epic Games from Apple to the Fort Night app, Apple took the Port Knight in the App Store. On the other hand, Epic Games raised antitrust lawsuits on Apple.
Epic Games claimed that Apple's App Store Operations was a violation of the proprietary prohibition law, but the court heard Apple's hand at nine issues of 10 literacy issues, including antitrust law violations. The part of the compulsory app payment issue was the compulsory app payment issue that was accused of being involved in anti-competitive acts, under California law. And that last year, the Ephic Games was a violation of contract with Apple in the Port Knight, that it is a violation of the contract with Apple, and the '30% of the sales obtained by the direct payment system, which is the loss, has to pay for Apple.
Although he led to the 9 issues, the Epic Games was given the performance of the APPARAGES to accept the app's external payment system, and in the future, a variety of companies that have entered the App Store will be able to avoid the settlement fee of up to 30%.
Both companies have a profit of benefit this lawsuit. Apple has not violated the antitrust method, and Epic Games achieved the purpose of the app external payment. However, if two companies are not satisfied, they may take additional time to the final conclusion.
