The same judge that stated Google must open its Android to third-party app stores in the US has granted Google a temporary administrative stay on that same decision.
Less than two weeks ago, Judge James Donato in California ruled that Google must open up its Android mobile operating system to third-party app stores in the US. That was supposed to happen by November 1. Today, Google got a big breather as the same judge granted the company a temporary administrative stay on that same decision.
This all goes back to another court battle in December 2023, when a jury decided that, in Google’s legal battle with Epic Games, Google had a monopoly of control for launching apps for devices that used its Android OS.
