Apple wants to ensure that she has a voice in the trial trial of the case of the monopoly of searching for the Ministry of Justice against Google, and The emergency movement was raised to stay The procedures during the appeal of the provincial court refusal to request directly to the case.
Mihata denied Apple’s request to take a limited role in the treatment phase in the case I command earlier this weekSaying that he did not wrap enough quickly. Instead, he said, Apple can submit post hearing summaries that explain its views. The Ministry of Justice and Persons in the state opposed the Apple in the procedures, while Google has not taken a position.
Apple believes It now needs to play a role in the case because unlike the previous stage, its interests may not be adequately represented by Google. The government’s proposals to end the profitable deals of Apple – as it pays Google to determine virtual sites – “involved unique concerns in Apple”. Apple is concerned that Google will need to determine the arguments that must be focused on – including the government’s request to produce the Chrome browser – and the urbanization related to Apple may not be sufficiently covered.
Apple writes that if its appeal is not treated until after the trial of treatments and the inability to participate, “Apple may have to stand in the trial, as just a spectator, while the government continues a severe treatment targeting Apple by name and will prohibit any commercial arrangement between Apple and Google for a contract .
While Mihita hopes to solve the issue by August, Apple says that “attention to short delay exceeds the need for a fully advanced record that includes information that only Apple can develop”, such as how the Ministry of Justice proposals get rid of the Google Monopoly power will affect the Apple, and why It may not work. Apple said in its initial proposal to intervene that it would provide evidence that despite the government’s suggestions, it will not create a public search engine if it was not obligated by its virtual agreement with Google.
If the Mahata does not give the appeal pending staying, Apple has at least requested to obtain access to discovery and sediments as a non -partisan while the district court is its appeal. “In the absence of residency,” the company writes, “Apple will suffer from an irreparable damage.”
