This is a really good case for the supreme court. As much as we may wish to side with Google because it benefits the typical developer, it is a nuanced case that requires some serious legal study. I can see the argument for these API's being in the public domain due to their widespread use, but at the same time, that sets a precedent for making success anti-competitive. I'm reminded of the cases where brands lose their trademark because their brand becomes the generic name. Can that be seen as a precedent in favor of Google's case? I.e. that once something becomes so widely used it becomes generic and free game for others to use freely?
