# Google loses appeal in Epic antitrust lawsuit and will ease restrictions on the Play Store

> Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, failed in its appeal against the antitrust lawsuit filed by Epic Games. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected its appeal, requiring Google to comprehensively reform the operational policies of the Google Play Store. The ruling upheld an earlier injunction that required Google to remove restrictive provisions, including prohibiting app developers from establishing alternative markets and third-party payment systems. Google expressed disappointment with this ruling, warning that it would severely harm user safety and the innovation capacity of the Android ecosystem

Alphabet (GOOG.US) subsidiary Google lost its appeal in an antitrust lawsuit filed by game developer Epic Games. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected Google's appeal on Thursday, meaning Google will be forced to comprehensively reform its operational policies for the Google Play app store.

This ruling upholds an earlier injunction from the district court, which requires Google to remove a series of restrictive provisions, including prohibiting app developers from establishing alternative app markets and third-party payment systems.

Google expressed disappointment with the ruling and warned that the judgment would severely compromise user safety and weaken the innovation capacity of the Android ecosystem
