My guess (IANAL) would be yes. I'm guessing you could choose
not to contest ownership as one of your defences, but still
hold to your right not to be sued over stuff that isn't
properly registered (and therefore unambiguously identified).

Both Novell and SCO registered the same versions of Unix. Neither was taken by
the court as proof of ownership of the copyrights.

Google is not contesting ownership. But they are contesting that Oracle has
registered (some or all) the material in question. And registration (as well as
ownership) is a legally necessary precursor for court action. Thus Oracle may
own the material, but cannot bring suit over it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Maybe Google won't contest that the copyrights belong to Oracle. However it is a
little hard to pin what are the four corners of the entity to which copyrights
apply?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
