Apple puts CEO Tim Cook on the stand to fight the maker of ‘Fortnite’

Herb Hovenkamp, an antitrust professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, said judges will sometimes try to use tough questioning to make both sides feel they might lose the case, driving them toward a settlement. “If Apple is dead on sure it’s gonna win, it’s not going to settle for very much,” he said. “If, on the other hand, she can promote a little bit of uncertainty and anxiety,” it might bring the two sides to the table, he said.
