The book cited in Google’s brief, Interfaces on Trial 2.0, was
accepted for publication by MIT Press in the fall of 2009, before Oracle
completed its purchase of Sun Microsystems, and approximately a year before
Oracle sued Google. As the book clearly indicates, much of it is based on
articles I authored or co-authored prior to 2005, while I was a partner at
Morrison & Foerster, the firm that now represents Oracle in this litigation.
Several of my co-authors were also Morrison & Foerster lawyers.
The book
advances the same policy perspective as the first volume, Interfaces on Trial,
which was published in 1995, when I was a partner at Morrison & Foerster. In
the Acknowledgements section of that volume, we thank Michael Jacobs (the
Morrison & Foerster partner who signed the Oracle filing) and several other
then-Morrison & Foerster partners for their contribution to our
understanding of copyright law. Both books are available for free download at
http://www.policybandwidth.com/interfaces-2-0.
The original
edition is a bit on the large side and demonstrates the noted acknowledgements.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
