AppLovin has filed for a temporary restraining order against Unity in California, alleging that its rival harvested data through Unity's free Ad Quality SDK without permission.
The lawsuit claims Unity collected auction data from AppLovin's MAX mediation platform, including clearing prices, auction IDs, and waterfall data, then used it to train models that anticipated AppLovin's bidding decisions in live ad auctions.
Unity called the filing "a classic case of a dominant incumbent resorting to litigation and intimidation," and pointed out that AppLovin runs its own comparable tool, Ad Review.
AppLovin wants Unity to stop collecting the data within five business days and modify the SDK within 30.
The two companies attempted to settle first. Unity offered to shut off data collection from MAX-mediated auctions going forward, but AppLovin turned it down because the offer said nothing about data already collected or models already built from it.
It's the latest move in a rivalry that's already seen a failed $20B buyout proposal, an earlier merger attempt, and the Runtime Fee saga. A separate JAMS arbitration is also underway, pursuing claims for trade-secret misappropriation and breach of contract.

Discord just launched its first self-serve Ads Manager and a new mobile-first Video Quests format, opening the platform to game studios and smaller brands for the first time.
Both products are in beta with select advertisers now, with full self-serve access coming in early 2027.
What's new:
- Discord Ads Manager uses auction-based bidding with real-time measurement via Singular and Adjust
- Video Quests is now mobile-first and vertical scroll, players watch 15 seconds to earn in-game rewards
- The old Video Quests becomes "Video Quests Reserve," a premium reservation buy for brand moments only
- Full-funnel targeting across awareness, consideration and app installs
