This just in from the court - there will be a hearing on Google's motion to exclude Dr. Cockburn's third damages report next Wednesday. (756 [PDF; Text]) Really hope the good judge doesn't strain his back bending over backwards trying to accommodate Oracle's failure to listen to his instructions on preparing this third damages report.
We would love to get a first-hand description of the hearing. If we have any readers who would be available to attend this hearing, please let us know. You should expect the hearing to last all morning. The hearing will be at 7:30 a.m., in courtroom 8, 19th floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue
San Francisco.

.
It would seem that Dr. Cockburn's initial damages report encompassed all patent
claims then extant. He obviously apportioned great value to these claims.
Many of the patent claims previously valued are now gone. This would cast doubt
on the value of the remaining claims.
He should be asked to apportion and deflate some vanishing value on the
vanishing claims. Also what impact dubiousness has on the value of any
remaining patent claims.
One can fashion some marvelous hypotheticals for him. As an expert he can
answer such questions.
Since he is the only witness required, he is the only one that must do some
'splainin'. The Good Dr. C is thrilled. He gets to charge a few dozen more
hours. He will remain ever erudite on the stand no matter what. That
mountaintop cabin will soon be a reality thanks to all parties.
This is not a hearing Oracle wants. It is not their issue. They only stand to
lose ground. They should try and take up the other side's time and let the
judge fumble around without as much Google input. They should just repeat their
copyright API's but not so much as to risk enlightening the judge.

| Or what happens if it just gets ripped to shreds by the judge? How big an
impact will that have on Oracle's case and what can they expect to gain by
continuing? Would it still be worthwhile for them to take this to trial? Would
it affect a possible settlement?

Could the requirement that Dr. C attend be a prelude to his being sanctioned?

Is this a sign that the Judge is getting a tad fed up with Oracle?
IANAL etc but it seems to me that the 'order' by the court really puts Oracle on
the spot and wants this over and done with once and for all.
I wish I could be there. This sounds rather interesting.

If I had a dollar for every reference here to the similarity between SCOX and
Oracle, I could have a decent vacation (maybe), and I can't help wonder when
this hits the phase of the shills going quiet. More importantly, when does this
start to sink in with Oracle's stockholders? Oracle's performance in this stage
of the lawsuit says everything about Oracle's competence as a tech company, from
their assessments of the technology value and scope, understanding of the
technology, and ability to conduct themselves in litigation. They have replaced
SCOX as the Keystone Cops of the computer world.[ Reply to This | # ]
