Oracle v. Google - Stipulation on Copyright Damages Approved
- stanleydrew 14y agoI assume there will be a description of what this means in layman's terms forthcoming on groklaw. But until then can someone here explain? grellas?
- dminor 14y agoIf the judge rules that APIs are copyrightable, then a new jury will be necessary, so they will decide the damages on the non-API infringement which has already been found. If he rules that APIs are NOT copyrightable, then he will decide the statutory damages for the non-API infringement, rather than bothering with a jury. Statutory damages are limited. There are basically two things to watch for at this point: - the jury's verdict on patents (currently deliberating) - the judge's ruling on API copyrightability (probably a week or two out).
