Apple has appealed a major federal court decision this summer that it
violated antitrust laws and conspired to fix e-book prices.
A "notice of appeal" document was filed by Apple attorney Orin Snyder Thursday. The appeal includes the final judgment by Judge Denise Cote in the Southern District of New York, as well as an injunction that requires it to modify its agreements with book publishers and hire an external monitor for two years.
In July, Cote ruled that Apple violated antitrust laws, saying the Justice Department proved that publishers conspired together to eliminate price competition for e-books, and that Apple played a central role in that conspiracy.
Apple has said it planned to appeal the decision.
