Epic Games vs Apple :
Drama
fortnite took a hit at apple, by copying an add they did in 1984
Trial
The Judge suggested that the trial should be held in front of a jury, as it is a matter that are "important cases on the frontier of antitrust law."
The trial is also one that the Judge wanted to hold in person, rather than doing it virtually. This would make the witnesses to attend the physical courtroom in person, as well as quarantining for two weeks after the event.
While the court was intended to be a physical in-person session, the continuing troubles with COVID-19 could force the trial back online
The Judge sided with Epic and denied Apple's motion, before taking a moment to remind both sides of what the Court expects from the trial
"The Court has repeatedly instructed that trial is not an opportunity for surprises," the filing reads. "Instead, it is an opportunity for the Court to measuredly consider and weigh the relevant evidence to reach a final determination. This dispute presents no exception."

epic games arguement- epic games had claimed apple abused monopoly on the ios app ecosystem. This led to the question wether apple has unlawful monopoly in "digital mobile gaming transactions". Epic ended up making 10 claims against apple which all mostly had to do with the unfair monopoly under the federal Sherman antitrust act or California's antitrust-focused [cartwright]act. The Sherman act states that every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade," and any "monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize."
