9th Circuit Sets Dec. 14 Oral Argument in SaurikIT’s Antitrust Appeal vs. Apple

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals scheduled oral argument for Dec. 14 at 9 a.m. PST in San Francisco in appellant SaurikIT’s appeal of the district court’s dismissal of its antitrust claims against Apple on grounds that those claims were time-barred, said a text-only notice Tuesday (docket 22-16527). SaurikIT, parent of the Cydia app, brought its claims against Apple in 2020. It alleges that Apple’s requirement that all iOS app developers must agree not to distribute through any channel except the App Store, and to use only Apple’s in-app programming interface for payment processing, gives Apple a monopoly on both (see 2301130035).
