A US judge is confident that government evidence will prove Apple knowingly participated in a conspiracy to raise the price of ebooks, ahead of a trial due to start next month.
US District
Judge Denise Cole is set to oversee the trial starting 3 June and this week
gave her views during a pretrial hearing, and although she stressed her
tentative view was not final, she believes the US government can prove Apple
engaged in a price-raising conspiracy with five book publishers.
Apple is the
sole remaining defendant in the case, after the five publishers accused of
colluding with Apple to set ebook prices all settled with the US Department of
Justice.
"I believe that the
government will be able to show at trial direct evidence that Apple knowingly
participated in and facilitated a conspiracy to raise prices of ebooks, and
that the circumstantial evidence in this case, including the terms of the
agreements, will confirm this," Cote said.
