Oracle Corp did not acquire Sun Microsystems in 2009 in order to launch a copyright lawsuit against Google, but rather to protect its products that relied on Sun's software, Oracle co-chief executive Safra Catz told jurors on May 16.
In a trial at San Francisco federal court, Oracle claims Google's Android smartphone operating system violated its copyright on parts of the Java programming language. Alphabet Inc's Google unit said it should be able to use Java without paying a fee under the fair-use provision of copyright law.
Oracle acquired Sun in 2010 and sued Google after negotiations broke down. The jury was deadlocked in a trial in 2012. If the current jury rules against Google on fair use, then it would consider Oracle's request for US$9bil (RM36.11bil) in damages.
