If memory serves, it was different judges in different courts. Google just got unlucky or Apple had better lawyers.
A lot of our justice system isn't really deterministic, and judge shopping is totally a thing :( It's unfair, and I wish we had a better system than that.
Here's one article... https://www.theverge.com/24003500/epic-v-google-loss-apple-win-fortnite-trial-monopoly https://www.theverge.com/24003500/epic-v-google-loss-apple-w...
- mvdtnz 2y agoDifferent judges, same court.
- kyriakos 2y agonot very familiar with US legal system but can't Google's case be used as precedent for Apple?
- solardev 2y agoThe judge specifically told them to pretend the other case wasn't happening. From the article: > "Nothing in the Apple case is directly relevant to the Google case — in fact, the judge barred both sides from even bringing it up. Google’s lawyers never got to argue to the jury that Apple won."
