Google Asks US Supreme Court to Pause App Store Overhaul

Alphabet Inc.’s Google asked the US Supreme Court to pause a lower court’s order requiring an overhaul of the technology giant’s app store policies in an antitrust case filed by Fortnite-maker Epic Games Inc.

In a filing dated Wednesday addressed to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, Google said that the order now set to take effect Oct. 22 should be put on hold while the company seeks high court review of the dispute. If it is not delayed, the company and “its Android ecosystem will suffer irreparable harm,” Google said.
