We must write a 180-250 word summary in 3-4 paragraphs (45-65 words each), with specific structural requirements.

Steps:

1. We need to extract key details from the source:

- Supreme Court will likely hear the case during its next term (starting October).

- Epic is challenging Apple's app store fees, seeking a de minimis rate (meaning minimal fee) and more control over transactions.

- Apple argues fees cover costs for IP-protected tools, technologies, and services (e.g., iPhone screen, touch controls, Apple silicon, development tools, App Store platform).

- If Apple wins, it may avoid sharing confidential business data about App Store decisions, linked-out purchases, and internal compliance discussions.

- UK's CMA is also analyzing Apple's costs, suggesting fees for link-outs could be levied but must be fair.

- Coalition for App Fairness says developer charges should be justified by transparent cost data from Apple and Google.

2. We must bold 3-5 key details (only the most newsworthy: e.g., company names, critical figures, single most important fact).

- We'll bold: Supreme Court, de minimis rate, Apple's fees, Epic, and maybe CMA (but we need to be selective). However, note: we can only bold 3-5 terms total, so we choose the most critical.

3. Paragraph structure: 3-4 paragraphs, each 45-65 words.

4. SEO:

- primary_keyword: The single most important 2-3 word phrase. Likely "app store fees" or "Epic vs Apple". But note: the headline says "Apple takes Epic fight over app store fees", so the core is "app store fees" (2 words) or "Epic lawsuit" (2 words). However, the primary keyword should be the most searched term. Given the context, "app store fees" is central. But let's see: the article is about the Supreme Court taking the fight, so maybe "Supreme Court app store" but that's 3 words. Alternativ
