KARLSRUHE, Germany (Reuters) -Apple lost its challenge at Germany's top civil court on Tuesday against its classification as a significant market power, a label which gives antitrust regulators more scope and flexibility to scrutinise its business practices.
Judges at the Federal Court of Justice backed the German cartel office's 2023 designation of Apple as a "company of paramount cross-market significance for competition".
