The Court has read the recent briefs and thanks counsel for the excellent work on both
16
sides. By THURSDAY AT NOON both sides shall please file further briefing on whether computer
17
programming languages have been held to be copyrightable or should be so held, developing the
18
arguments much more fully than were done in the recent briefs. Also please summarize the
19
expected trial evidence on the extent to which the 37 APIs should be or are deemed part of the
20
Java programming language. What will be the expected trial evidence as to how APIs are
21
regarded in other programming languages like C ++ . How did APIs develop in the history of
22
programming, according to the trial evidence? Each side may have up to ten pages. Please don’t
23
simply point out that the other side cannot find case law to support its position.
