Oracle attempts to use lawsuits as a piece of Android in their hands, so claims Google. The internetgigant believes, however, that Oracle is not entitled to have, even though it claims to be the latter copyright and patents on the OS to have.
In the courtroom let Google know that it does not infringe on patents from Oracle, and that the latter has no copyright claim on parts of Java code. For both cases Oracle some time ago claims against Google filed, but the trial was delayed until Monday to start.
According to Google, there are for the development of the Android operating system talks with Sun, which is later by Oracle was taken over. Because the negotiations nothing produced, developed the internetgigant its mobile operating system on their own. Therefore, Oracle no share in the Android-operating system requirements, argues Google.
Although Oracle initially infringement claimed on seven patents, was the number of that in the lawsuit was performed eventually reduced to two. Also the claimed compensation decreased; where Oracle previously, more than a billion dollars demanded would be the amount now demanded is less than 100 million dollars come true.
