Judge Nixes, Lowers Oracle's $1.3B Award Against SAP

Posted by timothy on from the larry-will-still-be-ok dept.

itwbennett writes "Federal judge Phyllis Hamilton has overturned the $1.3 billion judgment Oracle won against SAP and has approved SAP's request that Oracle accept a lower award, which would negate the need for a new trial." Oracle is in the habit of asking for awards in the billions; with that model, they really can make it up on volume.
