Day 10 Oracle v. Google Trial ~pj - Updated
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 27 2012 @ 03:10 PM EDT
Unlikely a full reset is needed. The judge can always instruct the jury on
specifically what he wants them to rule on. It can be as simple as "Does
Android as a whole have enough similarity in it's source code to conclude it is
a copy of Java?" (not a lawyer so merely my opinion here).

It is interesting that Oracle has gone to court without proper copyright
registration paperwork. I'd say they did it intentionally as part of their
strategy; when you are as good as Oracles attorneys are, you don't even die when
you get hit by a car. Much much less make a mistake that any law grad would
have picked up on. I'm of the opinion it's part of a strategy. The question I
have is whether these recent turn of events is anticipated by their side or
not.

The real question is whether that strategy is working or not. And if you
consider they have absolutely no merits from the onset of the case, I'd say they
have earned every bit of space they have thus far. At the end of the day, this
is about how Oracle will spin the 1.3 * 10 ^ 9 dollars paid over the estimated
value of a company they bought to their shareholders.
