Court denies AppLovin's request for temporary restraining order against Unity
A San Francisco court rejected AppLovin's request for a temporary restraining order aimed at Unity's Ad Quality SDK. The denial caused AppLovin shares to drop more than 5% in pre‑market trading.
Why it matters
Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese said the ruling could make it harder for AppLovin to protect data generated through its MAX platform and may pressure its take rate as Unity's advertising business gains traction. The share decline reflects the market's immediate reaction to the legal setback.
