“#Supreme Court backs Google in Oracle copyright battle<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The US Supreme Court sided with Google Monday its decade-long copyright battle with fellow tech giant Oracle over a batch of software code used in the Android mobile operating system.<\/p>\n

In a 6-2 decision<\/a>, the court ruled that Google had not violated copyright law by using more than 11,000 lines of Oracle code to build the Android software that powers most of the world\u2019s smartphones. <\/p>\n

The way Google incorporated the code from Oracle\u2019s Java SE computer platform into its Android operating system constitutes what\u2019s called a fair use under federal copyright law, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in the majority opinion.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Google only copied lines of code \u201cneeded to allow programmers to put their accrued talents to work in a new and transformative program,\u201d Breyer ruled. <\/p>\n

Allowing Oracle to enforce its copyright against Google, on the other hand, could hurt the public by turning the code at hand into \u201ca lock limiting the future creativity of new programs,\u201d Breyer wrote. \u201cOracle alone would hold the key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google praised the decision, calling it \u201ca victory for consumers, interoperability, and computer science<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision gives legal certainty to the next generation of developers whose new products and services will benefit consumers,\u201d Kent Walker, the company\u2019s senior vice president of global affairs, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

But Oracle slammed the ruling in a statement that needled Google for the regulatory scrutiny it\u2019s facing, such as the antitrust lawsuits filed against the company last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey stole Java and spent a decade litigating as only a monopolist can,\u201d said Dorian Daley, Oracle\u2019s executive vice president and general<\/a> counsel. \u201cThis behavior is exactly why regulatory authorities around the world and in the United States are examining Google\u2019s business practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The decision was the latest episode in a prolonged court battle that began when Oracle sued Google for copyright infringement in 2010 in California federal court, where Oracle lost in the first stage of litigation.<\/p>\n

An appellate court most recently sided with Oracle on appeal in 2018, a decision that Google appealed and the Supreme Court reversed.<\/p>\n

The ruling may have saved Google a hefty hit to its bottom line as Oracle had been seeking damages of more than $8 billion.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorusch and Brett Kavanaugh supported Breyer\u2019s opinion, while Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented. Justice Amy Coney Barrett was not on the bench when the case was argued in October and did not participate in the decision.<\/p>\n
