Washington – The Computer & Communications Industry Association has filed an amicus brief in support of Apple Inc., asking the Supreme Court to hear the Apple v. Epic case. The Chamber of Progress, SIIA, and NetChoice joined CCIA’s brief that pointed out that the District Court’s injunctive orders exceed the federal court’s authority as they impose online platform-wide changes instead of party-specific and injury-specific relief and potentially impact expression broadly across digital services and apps.
The following can be attributed to CCIA President & CEO Matt Schruers:
“The lower court’s ruling is inconsistent with federal legal requirements for injunctions. It puts a global digital marketplace under judicial supervision based on a single plaintiff’s claims, and this calls for Supreme Court intervention.”
