Walt Disney has taken its legal battle against Google’s in-app billing system to an Indian state court. According to a reliable source, Disney aims to secure an injunction that would prohibit Google from imposing the use of its billing system on developers.
Google’s in-app billing system allows Android app developers to sell digital products and content, but its 30% commission has faced criticism for being excessive. This is not the first time a company has challenged Google in this regard. Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, filed a lawsuit against Google in 2020, and the case is still unresolved.
The outcome of Disney’s challenge in the Indian court remains uncertain. However, the ruling could potentially impact other developers who are dissatisfied with Google’s billing system.
Additional information about the case includes:
- The case has been filed in the Delhi High Court.
- Disney seeks an injunction to prevent Google from mandating the use of its billing system for developers.
- The court is still in the early stages of proceedings, and a final ruling is yet to be determined.
