NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Walt Disney has approached a state court in India in an ongoing legal challenge against Google’s in-app billing system, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
In May, India’s competition watchdog started an inquiry into Google after some companies alleged the service fee the U.S. firm charges for in-app payments breaches an earlier antitrust directive.
Google, which counts India as a key growth market, had earlier said the service fee supports investments in Google Play app store and the Android mobile operating system, ensuring it distributes it for free, and covers developer tools and analytic services.
