Cloud Computing: Oracle Told to Pay Google $1M in Java Trial Costs: Java trial judge William Alsup has ordered Oracle to pay $1,130,350 for Google’s court costs, mostly for a court-appointed expert witness.
Google, the “prevailing party,” wanted $4,030,699, but the judge cut it back $2,900,349 refusing to accept its bill for third-party e-discovery.
Oracle failed to convince the court and the jury that Android infringes its patents and copyrights. The judge ultimately ruled that its APIs weren’t copyrighted.
The judge’s order recalls that “Oracle initially sought six billion dollars in damages and injunctive relief but recovered nothing after nearly two years of litigation and six weeks of trial.”
His decision explains in stiff language why “Oracle has failed to overcome the presumption of awarding costs to Google.”
