I think you missed that this injunction is the case?

You are saying "the injunction was to stop LinkedIn from blocking access while [the injunction request] is ongoing".

If the court didn't think hiq had a strong case they would not have granted the initial injunction, then reaffirmed it on this appeal.

The 9th circuit uses a sliding-scale version of the preliminary injunction test. Because hiQ has more at stake, all hiQ needs is a serious question in this case, not a likelyhood of success on the merits.

It still might be case that hiQ has less than a 50% chance of winning in the eyes of the appeals court.
