Apple seeks settlement talks with Epic Games in new court filing
In addition to submitting its proposed commission structure for purchases made outside the App Store’s IAP system in the US, Apple filed a motion indicating it is willing to explore a settlement with Epic Games. Here are the details.
In a recent court filing, Apple has indicated its openness to settlement discussions with Epic Games, according to its motion. The tech giant has proposed a commission structure for purchases made outside its App Store’s in-app purchase (IAP) system in the US. Apple wants the authority to charge up to 15% on such purchases. However, Epic Games rejects this proposal, stating that these fees are "far outside of the bounds of the Ninth Circuit’s guidance on permissible fees."
Despite Epic's refusal, Apple has also requested Judge Gonzalez Rogers to order both parties into a settlement conference, even without Epic's consent. The company argues that the court has the power to do so and that a settlement conference could expedite a resolution, avoiding further legal proceedings.
