Swedish authorities want to question the 40-year-old over accusations of rape and sexual assault made by two female former WikiLeaks volunteers.
Assange's lawyer said he was considering an appeal. He has two weeks in which to do so.
However, any appeal to Britain's highest judicial body, the Supreme Court, must be made on a point of law considered to be of general public interest.
Assange's whistle-blowing website caused a stir last year by publishing more than 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables.
