'Retitle- CONCLUSION'

CONCLUSION

Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART the motion for preliminary injunction.

THEREFORE , APPLE AND ALL PERSONS IN ACTIVE CONCERT OR PARTICIPATION WITH APPLE , ARE PRELIMINARILY ENJOINED from taking adverse action against the Epic Affiliates with respect to restricting, suspending or terminating the Epic Affiliates from the Apple's Developer Program, on the basis that Epic Games enabled IAP direct processing in Fortnite through means other than the Apple IAP system, or on the basis of the steps Epic Games took to do so. This preliminary injunction shall remain in effect during the pendency of this litigation unless the Epic Affiliates breach: (1) any of their governing agreements with Apple, or (2) the operative App Store guidelines. This preliminary injunction SUPERSEDES the prior temporary restraining order.

For the reasons set forth above, this preliminary injunction is EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY and will remain in force until the disposition of this case. Neither party has requested a security bond and the Court finds that none is necessary as contemplated under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c). See Connecticut Gen. Life Ins. Co. v. New Images of Beverly Hills , 321 F.3d 878, 882 (9th Cir. 2003) ("The district court is afforded wide discretion in setting the amount of the bond, ... and the bond amount may be zero if there is no evidence the party will suffer damages from the injunction.").

This Order terminates Docket Number 61.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
