Cases of Note
Oracle America, Inc. v. Google Inc.: We are representing Google in a high-stakes patent and copyright infringement suit brought by the Oracle Corporation, a battle between two of Silicon Valley’s most respected and powerful companies with billions of dollars at stake. Oracle’s complaint alleges that Google’s Android mobile operating technology infringes Oracle's Java patents. Oracle bought the Java programming language through its acquisition of Sun Microsystems in January 2010. An expert for Oracle estimated Google would owe Oracle between $1.4 billion and $6 billion in damages if it was found liable of infringement. Disputing that figure, our team asserts that the patents are invalid and not infringed and that users of the Android platform have a license to any patents in the case.
