- jsmith45 6y agoThey absolutely do have standing. 15 U.S.C. §15 allows for injured parties of anti-trust violation to sue for treble damages. This is separate to and beyond any criminal charges the DOJ can bring. If courts determine that Apples behavior violates anti-trust laws, it is unlikely that they would find that Epic was not an injured party.
