In California, the losing part pays the prevailing party's court costs. Court
costs
include filing fees, witness fees, some discovery expenses, some exhibit making
expenses, the jury fees, the court reporter fees, etc. Unless a statute or
contract provides otherwise, however, costs DO NOT include attorneys fees or
expenses.
The deposition costs alone in a case like this will probably total in excess of
several thousand dollars, but that is a drop compared to the legal fees both
sides have racked up by now.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It is not a criminal trial. There is no guilt or innocence determination in this
trial.
In this civil trial, there will be a determination of infringement or
non-infringement, and if there is infringement, there will be a a determination
of damages.
If Google prevails on the copyright issues, there is a possiblity of winning
fees and/or costs since US copyright law explicitly provides for it. I don't
think that US patent law provides the same.
