`
`TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
`On September 10, 2021 this Court issued its Rule 52 Order After Trial on the Merits
`(Dkt 812) (the “Rule 52 Order”) and a Permanent Injunction that restrained and enjoined
`Defendant and Counterclaimant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) from “prohibiting developers from
`(i) including in their apps and their metadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that
`direct customers to purchasing mechanisms, in addition to In-App Purchase and
`(ii) communicating with customers through points of contact obtained voluntarily from customers
`through account registration within the app” (Dkt. 813) (the “Injunction”). The Injunction further
`provides that “[t]he Court will retain jurisdiction over the enforcement and amendment of the
`[I]njunction” and if any part of the Injunction is violated, Epic “may, by motion with notice to the
`attorneys for defendant, apply for sanctions or other relief that may be appropriate”. (Id.)
`On January 16, 2024—the same day the Supreme Court denied Apple’s petition for a writ
`of certiorari, thus exhausting its appeal of the Injunction—Apple filed a document titled “Notice
`of Compliance with UCL Injunction”, which described new App Store Review Guidelines and
`asserted that “[a]s of January 16, 2024, Apple has fully complied with the Injunction”. (Dkt. 871
`at 1 (the “Notice of Compliance”).)
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Plaintiff and Counter-defendant Epic Games, Inc. (“Epic”)
`disputes Apple’s purported compliance with the Injunction and intends to file a motion setting
`forth the bases for Apple’s non-compliance and requesting appropriate relief from this Court.
`Epic is in the process of meeting and conferring with Apple regarding a briefing schedule for
`Epic’s forthcoming motion.
