    To ensure that the ad is visible the court also ordered that the text of the ad must not be in a font size smaller than Ariel 14. Apple will have to run the ad on its site for a period of one month.

    the court forgot to specify that Apple could not use the same text & background colours!

    Apple did win a concession: they were originally ordered to have it on the web site for 6 months, this was reduced to 1 month.

    Having a trial doesn't mean that at all, losing it, on the other hand, does*.

    * - Unless you win your appeal. Which Apple didn't.
