Oracle case: Google CEO presents a blank Page

If there were any doubts as to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's attitude toward Google, those were dispelled in his testimony on Tuesday morning in a San Francisco U.S. District Court courtroom. Oracle has filed suit against Google, alleging that that its Android mobile operating system infringed on patents that Oracle acquired in 2009, when it bought Sun Microsystems.

Google engineer Tim Lindholm, a former employee of Sun Microsystems, was the focus on the fourth day of the case between Oracle and Google in San Francisco yesterday.

According to a new Wall Street Journal article, Google, Inc., is reporting that chief executive Larry Page has lost his voice.  Beyond noting that Page lost his voice, Google provides scant details about the reason or other possible health issues.

Remember when Oracle attempted to sue Google due to “supposed” patent infringements that were coded into Android? Google came out on top in that case when the judge ruled in favor for the search giant.

Jurors in the case brought by Oracle against Google yesterday continued their deliberations over the copyright phase of the trial which ended last week.

While it won't likely go down as the "trial of the century," the legal showdown between Oracle and Google that began in San Francisco federal court on Monday could still be quite significant. The case has already been characterized as "the World Series of IP cases" by U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who is presiding over the trial.

Google has not violated Oracle's patents for Java technology, a jury in the case filed by the database maker against the search giant concluded in San Francisco yesterday.
