Oracle v. Google - Oracle Loses on Motion Regarding Leonard and Cox Reports

  Too bad the recent EU decision about copyright on programming languages probably won't influence this case by the time it's over.

    It's highly unlikely that the EU decision would alter the outcome of Oracle v. Google in any way regardless of timing. This is a US case involving completely different parties and a significantly different set of facts. Decisions of non-US courts usually have little influence unless statutory or case law is severely lacking or highly ambiguous, and even then they are treated much like one might treat a book by a legal scholar. Decisions by courts that do not share the English common law traditions are of even more attenuated influence.
