It’s so fucking weird that Oracle v. Google ended up in the Federal Circuit, when only the copyright claims were considered.
Guess what’s even weirder? Its precedential effect: http://www.project-disco.org/intellectual-property/051214-further-reflections-on-oracle-v-google/ … (SPOILER: none)

-
seriously tho: Oracle v. Google is appealed to the Federal Circuit on the basis of a patent claim that doesn’t even get litigated
-
In order to determine the copyright claims, the Federal Circuit applies Ninth Circuit law. It (arguably) fucks it up.
-
In fact, it fucks it up so hard, that by claiming that “Google did not seek to foster compatibility,” it turns its own analysis into dicta
-
And then on top of that, because it’s the Federal Circuit, it’s not even binding precedent in the Ninth Circuit. Or anywhere, actually.
-
...which leads me to ask...
-
HOW DID ANY OF THIS HAPPEN
-
@sarahjeong you should write a longer post about this somewhere. (Perhaps you already have?) -
@zfurnas you should check out the
@DisCo_Project blogposts— I haven’t written anything myself.
