Isn't this case already closed?
- jordigh 11y agoGoing through appeals.
- rdsnsca 11y agoNo, most heard Google won the first trial and assumed it was. Oracle appealed and won the 2nd trial. They tried to reach a settlement but are way apart on how much it should be. Google tried to appeal to the Supreme Court but that was denied. So now they are having another go at it in a lower court.
- blacktulip 11y agoThanks. I thought it was ended as soon as the Supreme Court decided not to pick it up.
- shadowmint 11y agohttps://www.eff.org/cases/oracle-v-google https://www.eff.org/cases/oracle-v-google On October 6, 2014, Google filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Federal Circuit's decision. On November 7, 2014, EFF filed an amicus brief on behalf of many computer scientists that asked the Supreme Court to grant Google's petition for review, reverse the Federal Circuit, and reinstate Judge Alsup's opinion. Unfortunately, in June 2015 the Supreme Court denied Google's petition. The case will now return to the district court for a trial on Google's fair use defense. Didnt win in court because the judge actually had some clue what was happening? Dont worry, just keep those appeals flying, you'll get a clueless idiot evetually and your lobby money will win them over.
- oblio 11y agoI doubt that Google isn't also using all its lobby money to prevent that.
