Seven patents. Seven. The most intellectually dishonest thing Oracle (and Mueller) are doing is pretending that the seven patents involved are somehow evidence that Android ecosystem is reasonably the property of Oracle. Even if the patents are ruled valid, they still represent a tiny fraction of the IP involved.
- kenjackson 16y agoOnly takes one patent. I don't know the details, so maybe its some corner that can easily just be cut off. But the quantity of patents brought is generally not evidence of anything, except how long the trial might take.
- FlorianMueller 16y agoNeither Oracle nor I claim that the Android ecosystem is Oracle's property. It's just that if one or more of Oracle's patents read on Dalvik, every Android phone and every Android app can potentially be viewed as infringing material. As far as I'm concerned, those seven patents are way too broad and fundamental. But they exist.
