App Store Antitrust Litigation, Developers Tout $100M Settlement in Bid for Final Approval
“Last Friday, app developers engaged in a class action with Apple Inc. concerning allegations that the company maintains unfair leverage as the sole iOS app intermediary, standing between developers and customers, pushed for final approval of their $100 million settlement. The motion said that so far,” reports Christina Tabacco in Law Street.
“The administrator has received about 8,200 claims of the 67,440 application developer accounts identified, only one class member has objected, and Apple’s concerns about counsel’s fee request are misguided. Last November, the court granted preliminary approval to the settlement, which he parties agreed to while class certification briefing.”
