The company says the case presents issues of ‘surpassing importance to the United States economy.'”This case . . . presents issues of surpassing importance to the United States economy,” the company argues in papers filed with the high court Wednesday. “Dynamic, disruptive entry into new or stagnant markets—the lifeblood of American economic growth—often requires the very type of” conduct that Apple engaged in, the company argues, and which U.S. District Judge Denise Cote of Manhattan found to be illegal in July 2013.Cote’s ruling was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in June by a 2-1 ruling.
