ORDER GRANTING IN PART
GOOGLE’S MOTION TO DEEM
ISSUES UNDISPUTED
GOOGLE INC.,
Defendant.
/

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.
