No Patent Infringement Found In Oracle vs. Google

Posted by Soulskill on from the and-there-we-go dept.

sl4shd0rk writes "Today, the jury in the Oracle vs. Google trial found no infringement of patents by Google. The jury deliberated about 30 minutes to reach the verdict, bringing an end to the second phase of the trial, and a beginning to the damage phase, which may be very little of what Oracle originally asked for. Still no word on API copyright issues. Judge Alsup will be ruling on that in the near future, and it will certainly have an impact on the developer community."

    You really did not read even the summary? He just found out that there is no patent abuse. But most of the talk has been about Google's copyright abuse, and that is more clear and probably will get Google fined.

    That's the copyright issue, not this patent verdict. Stop posting misinformation.
