Google has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court this week to intervene in a Java infringement case between Google and Oracle and make a final decision, according to foreign media reports. Google as the defendant, Oracle as the plaintiff, the two giants around the Android and Java War has entered the fourth year. What is the dispute between them, and why are the two giants so persistent? In short, because of Oracle's Java, the real reason behind it is far less simple.
The following are the events of the whole case:
1.201 years in August, Li Bo oracle sued Google infringement.
2.2011 years in March, Google hired the founder of Java James Gosling.
3.2012 years in May, the jury found that Google used 9 line-of-range inspection of Java code to constitute infringement.
In May, 4.2012, the same month, Judge William Alsup overturned the jury's opinion that Google was infringing, saying the API should not be protected by copyright.
5.2012 years in October, Oracle appealed to the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals.
In April, 6.2014, the U.S. Federal Court of Appeal ruled that the API was copyrighted and infringed by Google.
In October, 7.2014, Google appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court for a decision to intervene.
And then we're at this time.
