ORDER GRANTING IN PART GOOGLE’S MOTION TO DEEM ISSUES UNDISPUTED GOOGLE INC., Defendant. / 14 15 Defendant Google Inc. filed a motion to deem three issues undisputed at trial. Oracle 16 opposed all three proposals. After reviewing both parties’ submissions, this order holds that 17 Google’s motion is GRANTED IN PART as follows. 18 The jury shall be told: “The Java programming language is open and free for anyone to 19 use but the parties disagree on whether the Java APIs and class libraries are part of the Java 20 programming language.” This instruction reflects Oracle’s concessions at hearings. 21 The jury shall be told: “The names of the various items appearing in the disputed API 22 package specifications, such as names of API files, packages, classes, and methods, are not 23 protected.” This instruction reflects the Court’s order on summary judgment (Dkt. No. 433). 24 Google’s third proposal is not adopted and will be a matter of proof at trial. 25 26 27 28 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: April 11, 2012. WILLIAM ALSUP UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
