Oracle suffers major setback in Google case

In a trial that began last month, Oracle claimed Google’s Android tramples on its rights to the structure of 37 Java APIs. Google argued it did not violate Oracle’s patents and that Oracle cannot copyright APIs for Java, an open-source or publicly available software language. They then found that Google did not infringe two of Oracle’s patents, which ended the trial last week before damages could be considered.
