ORDER IN LIMINE RE GOOGLE’S
MOTION IN LIMINE NO. 3 RE
IRRELEVANT TESTIMONY INTENDED
TO SUGGEST VIOLATION OF
PRIVACY OR ANTITRUST LAWS

Google’s motion in limine to preclude Oracle from introducing evidence or argument

16

intended to suggest that Google is violating the jurors’ privacy rights, privacy laws, and

17

antitrust laws (Dkt. 1558) is DENIED except as to any references to “cookies,” “monopoly,” or

18

“monopolization.” Although Google does not dispute that the use was for a commercial use,

19

the extent of the commercial use is still in play. Evidence regarding Google’s business

20

practices is relevant to show the extent of commercialism and to meet Google’s point that

21

Google gives Android away for free.

22
23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
