I remember you saying that this was clearly a judge who did his homework. I'm glad to see that he took his time and came up with the well-reasoned judgement I was hoping for. Oracle's case has been coming undone for some time now. I couldn't believe the way their expert witness was rebuked in the denial of Oracle's JMOL motion the other day, either. They have, what? One claim for copyright infringement via those test files? I sincerely doubt that even the maximum penalty there would permit them to recoup the cost of this litigation. And I think you've said as much before.

The statutory penalty for the test files and rangeCheck is $150k per incident or $300k (which is nowhere near the $50 million estimated cost of the litigation for each party to date). However, Oracle has elected to go after "infringer's profits" instead of taking statutory damages, so it is very possible that they will end up with less. It's very unlikely that they'd end up with more as the judge understands how trivial both parts are (and Oracle and Google have agreed to let him decide damages).
