Highlights
Oracle had alleged a copyright infringement on about 12,000 lines of code Google copied from the Java API.
Google argued that its use of the code was meant for fair use and therefore not subject to copyright liability.
The Court found Google’s actions to be in support of interoperability and hence fair use.
