Judge Blasts Oracle’s Attempt to Overturn Pro-Google Jury Verdict
A federal judge has shot down a motion by Oracle to overturn a jury verdict that found Google’s use of Java application program interfaces (APIs) in Android was “fair use.” The verdict also rejected Oracle’s claim that the mobile system infringed its copyrights.
Ars Technica reports that U.S. District Judge William Alsup’s stinging rebuke rejected Oracle’s arguments on every front.
“The final jury charge culminated an exhaustive and iterative process of proposals by the judge followed by critiques by counsel,” Alsup wrote.
