This was a clear victory for the DOJ and Cote. The appeals court did not change one single thing concerning the parameters of Bromwich's role already outlined by Cote previously. They simply reiterated the restrictions Cote had already set.

Therefore, further attempts by Apple to stop Bromwich from interviewing top executives such as Ive will not be tolerated.

Evidently, the court didn't buy into Apple's arguments about business harm and interruption of business activities if Bromwich continued on with his activities.
