    NewsBytes Briefing: Epic's Unreal Engine gets legal protection, and more

    Since last night, the case between Apple and Epic Games has progressed. They faced-off in an online hearing and explained their respective sides to the judge, who issued a temporary restraining order to protect Epic's Unreal Engine, but not Fortnite - which is already banned by Apple. Under the ruling, Apple cannot terminate Epic's developer accounts or restrict Unreal Engine Here are more updates.

    Unity filed to go public

    As Epic fought to keep Unreal Engine alive, its biggest rival Unity, the maker of the Unity Game Engine, filed to go public. Though Epic has been aggressive against Unity, numbers suggest that the latter has been leading the game. In 2019, it powered more than half of the top games on Android, iOS, PC, and consoles.

    TikTok sued Trump administration

    TikTok on Monday sued the Trump administration for banning transactions with its parent company ByteDance. It alleged that the executive order imposing the ban violates due process protections of the Fifth Amendment, breaches the scope of sanctions' rules, and offers no evidence proving that TikTok is a national security threat. "The executive order is not rooted in bonafide national security concerns," the complaint emphasized.

The move comes as several firms, including Facebook and Times Internet, continue to race to take now-banned TikTok's spot in India.
