No, it *was* a patent case. The jury rightly found that the patents were not
infringed, but the fact is that the patents *were* asserted. That is,
apparently, why it started off in the Federal Circuit.
Oracle might well appeal the non-infringement finding, though I think they would
be stupid to do so since Google now has a much better idea of what angle they're
coming from, and can therefore counter it even better than they already did.
More likely I think they will appeal the API SSO finding (I hope they do
actually, so that Judge Alsup's fine work doesn't go to waste), and maybe a few
other things on the copyright side.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In the quoted text it says, "...Federal Circuit shall have exclusive
jurisdiction..." That means there is only one place to appeal if the
criteria are met. Oracle can choose to appeal or not appeal, but it must be to
the Federal Circuit if they do. The relative importance of the claims (and the
validity of them) is not relevant. (If you stop and think about it, all that
could change on appeal in theory.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
