irrational instruction
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 04 2012 @ 01:57 PM EDT
The instruction to assume APIs are copywritable may be an
irrational jury instruction, given the questions posed after
the EU ruling.

Alsup has re-opened an issue on behalf of Oracle that many
consider obvious and settled.

fidgit & wait?

This is a prickly time for an attorney. Nothing can be done but fidget and wait
In most trials, that is the case during jury deliberations, but in this trial they can work on preparing for the remaining 2 phases of the trial.

Unless there is some kind of a technical person on the jury, I suspect the most
likely place for a hang up is the size of the infringement.

Almost everyone has heard of Google and knows that Google is big. Not so many
people have heard of Oracle. So we have big company having taken something from
the crown-jewels of the unknown (probably little guy).

I suspect someone is arguing that any taking by Google should result in a big
slap, in the spirit of standing up for the little guy.
