Foreign media: Apple is challenging India's antitrust fine laws. According to documents from the Delhi High Court, Apple may face a fine of up to $38 billion.
This is the first time a company in India has challenged its antitrust fine law, which allows the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to calculate fines based on a company's global turnover, not just its turnover in the Indian market.
In the documents, Apple stated that fines based on global turnover are "arbitrary, unconstitutional, and disproportionate," and used an example of a toy seller also engaged in stationery business to illustrate that fines should be calculated based only on revenue from the infringing business in the Indian market. Apple's hearing is scheduled for December 3rd.
