Apple Inc. (AAPL): Does Judge’s Tempered Tone Signal Win in E-book Trial?

While Judge Cote is expected to rule on the case within 60 says, the change in tone of Cote’s words at the end of the trial compared to before the evidence was presented in the trial, at the very least Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) made a convincing case that Judge Cote may not make her decision quickly. However, this also could signal room for Apple to appeal if Cote rules against it, based partly on her comments at the beginning of the trial, which seemed to indicate  a bias and thus a perception disadvantage from which Apple had to claw back. Some legal experts think this case has the potential to reach the Supreme Court – to resolve a question of how price-fixing should be defined.
