A federal appeals court has upheld a jury verdict condemning Google’s Android app store as an illegal monopoly, clearing the way for a judge to enforce a potentially disruptive shakeup.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a unanimous ruling, rejected claims from Google that the trial judge made legal errors in the antitrust case that unfairly benefited "Fortnite" maker Epic Games, which filed the lawsuit in 2020.

The court rejected Google’s argument that the trial judge made legal errors in the antitrust case that unfairly favored Epic Games.
