Judge said he would preserve case in the event of overturn.

Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 30 2012 @ 10:41 PM EDT

If the judge decided that the SSO was not copyrightable, and stopped the case,
an appeal of his decision would have brought down the entire 3-stage jury
trial.
By letting the jury trial end, he gets that verdict in. Then he can make other
rulings, in the knowledge that an appeal of his ruling does not overturn the
trial.
Same thing with the questions on registration. He could have stopped the trial
with a decision, but didn't, as that ruling could have been appealed. It was
Oracle that responded by changing their case midway through, basically mooting
the Judge's ruling anyway. But Oracle can't launch a appeal on the basis of
"Our lawyer messed up."

Oracle makes a big thing of the judge saying that SSO is copyrightable, while
Google says something else, as a means to undermine Google's credibility.
The jury's decision may be influenced by this. I think this is unfair on Google.
