Federal judge dismisses some claims by Apple in fight against Epic Games: Report

A federal judge in California late on Tuesday dismissed some of Apple Inc’s counterclaims against Epic Games, Bloomberg News reported, narrowing the scope of a dispute that has seen the online game maker’s “Fortnite” game removed from the iPhone maker’s App Store.

Apple and Epic have been in a legal battle since August, when the maker of the popular game launched its own in-app payment system to circumvent what it called Apple’s monopolistic practices.
