Google Asks USPTO To Reexamine Four Oracle Patents

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 17, 2011 @07:27AM from the seriously-your-honor?-seriously? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google leaves no stone unturned in its defense against Oracle's patent and copyright infringement allegations. eWEEK reports on the latest development: Google has asked the USPTO to reexamine four of the seven patents asserted by Oracle. Patent watcher and skeptic Florian Mueller believes 'the world would be a better place without those virtual machine patents,' which he considers excessively broad and not really technical inventions. He also reports on a Google letter to the court, asking for permission to file a motion to throw out Oracle's copyright infringement allegations as soon as possible, without further discovery."

Sun did not have the financial strength to take them to task. Larry will sqeeze them where it really hurts now! I'd think they should pay close to $20B considering MSFT paid Sun $2.2B 10 year ago.
