In the first phase of the trial, a federal judge narrowed the litigation over Oracle’s copyright claims and upheld a portion of Oracle’s claims. In the third phase the judge will assess damages against Google for its infringing use of some parts of Java code in Google’s Android operating system. Oracle has indicated that it intends to seek a seriously large payment for the infringement. Oracle has also said that it will appeal the jury’s verdict.
The verdict did not affect either company’s share price during today’s trading session. After hours both are down slightly.
