Google Brings a Case to the Judge's Attention Re its Bill of Costs ~pj
Authored by: mirrorslap on Friday, August 17 2012 @ 02:00 AM EDT
Larry Ellison is going to have to get out his wallet! I hope he didn't leave it
on the
Lanai...

Tomorrow's the big day for "Judge Alsup Orders Financial Disclosure of Ties
to
Commentators in Oracle v Google". Will this be happening in open court?

Number of claims does not equal worth
Authored by: IMANAL_TOO on Friday, August 17 2012 @ 05:47 AM EDT
The number of claims does not equal what they are worth.

So out of 100 claims, 93 claims may be worth $1,000 each whereas 7 claims may be
worth $100,000 each.

Counting claims seems like a crude way of handling it. Parsimonious even.

No reference to Echostar vs NDS?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 17 2012 @ 08:27 AM EDT

“EchoStar did not succeed 'on any significant issue' or 'achieve any of the benefit it sought in bringing suit' under the Communications Act.”

“NDS was the prevailing party in this litigation and that EchoStar fails to meet the legal definition of a prevailing party on any of its claims.”

even though NDS was found guilty on 3 charges. the U.S. supreme court denied echostar's petition to review the ninth circuit decision that named NDS the sole prevailing party.

there is some links to the verdict and decisions here.
suprised they didn't reference this case, any idea why not?

Tilted playing field
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 17 2012 @ 09:57 AM EDT
I'm not complaining; perfectly smooth playing fields have no friction.

But Google's lawyers are so much better than Oracle's. One side blunders, gets
scolded. The other keeps flipping these brilliant moves.

First Oracle hands the judge the chance to make new law, but it goes against
Oracle. Now the judge get's to team up with another judge on new law for costs.
Again against Oracle.

Oracle seems not to friend themselves.

Chilling Effects
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 19 2012 @ 04:44 PM EDT

I predict that we'll see an Amicus Curae filed which claims that having to
pay costs on a loosing case will have a Chilling Effect on Copyright Owners
being able to defend their rights. I also predict we'll see an attempt to have
the costs ruling extended to Trademark and Patent cases.

In other words I think that the US Courts will be Really busy.

Me? I like the idea of awarding costs. I think it will cut down on frivolous
litigation.
