Google Shuts Down Oracle Corp.

Google scored a verdict for the defense on Wednesday in its smart phone battle with Oracle Corp. after a jury discarded all claims of patent infringement. The Recorder shared Google’s official statement:

“Today's jury verdict that Android does not infringe Oracle's patents was a victory not just for Google but the entire Android ecosystem."

However, the trial judge, U.S. District Judge William Alsup, has said that he expects the case to reach the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit regardless of its outcome in the District Court.
