(Reuters) - Apple Inc's cooperation with a court-appointed monitor has "sharply declined" as he reviews the iPad maker's antitrust compliance policies, the monitor wrote in a report to a judge.
Michael Bromwich, who became Apple's monitor after it was found liable for conspiring to raise e-book prices, said in a report on Thursday that Apple objected to providing information and "inappropriately" attempted to limit his activities.
Bromwich, whose relationship with Apple has been testy since the start, had indicated that relations had improved in a report in October to U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan.
However, he said in his latest report that the company recently had taken a more "adversarial tone" in discussions.
"We have conducted no interviews since January, and Apple has rejected our recent requests for interviews," Bromwich wrote.
Despite those difficulties, Bromwich said he had interviewed Apple's entire board and executive team, and Apple had made progress in developing a "comprehensive and effective" compliance program.

Oops, too many judges. Koh is the patent judge in California. Cote is the anti-Trust judge. Sorry about that.

Do you think Iran will cooperate? They aren't cooperating now and haven't been cooperating for years. Why should they start now because there's a Muslim in the White House?
