The Analysis Group Won an Industry Award in 2022 for Its ‘Sham’ App Store Report ⇥ prnewswire.com

Speaking of the Analysis Group, here is a press release from 2022:

Analysis Group was acknowledged at the GCR [Global Competition Review] awards ceremony for its work on Epic Games v. Apple, which was awarded “Matter of the Year” and “Litigation of the Year – non-cartel defence.” The litigation involved allegations that anti-steering provisions contained in Apple’s App Store policies for developers stifled competition.

And here is an article by Tripp Mickle, New York Times, from last month:

Judge Gonzalez Rogers questioned whether Apple was telling the truth and asked the company to provide documents about its plans. It produced 89,000 documents but claimed a third of them were confidential. The court said those claims were “unsubstantiated” and forced Apple to turn over more than half of the documents.

The documents made clear that Mr. Roman had lied under oath, that the Analysis Group report was a “sham” and that Apple had “willfully” disregarded a court order, Judge Gonzalez Rogers said. She called it a “cover-up.”

I wonder if the Analysis Group is giving back that award. I also wonder if that matters in the eyes of industry groups like the Global Competition Review.
