The jury deliberating over Oracle Corp.'s (ORCL) claims that
Google Inc. (GOOG) infringed its copyrights failed to reach a
verdict before the weekend, and is expected to reconvene on
Monday.
Oracle sued Google in 2010, alleging that Google's Android
mobile software infringes copyrights and patents that protect
Oracle's Java technology.
The firms have been going head to head at the trial in San
Francisco for weeks, and a verdict on the copyright portion of the
case had been widely expected by Friday.
However, jurors informed Judge William Alsup they were unable to
reach a conclusive verdict, and he instructed them to think it over
during the weekend before resuming Monday.
The second, patent portion of the proceedings are likely to
begin next week. That would be followed by a portion dedicated to
assessing any damages Google may owe.
Oracle has said it plans to pursue Google for roughly $1 billion
in damages, and may seek an injunction blocking the sale of devices
with Android.
