The Patent portion just ended with Google walking away with a clean sweep, i.e. the patents weren’t violated. For coverage - look at www.groklaw.net where the trial has been extensively reported on. What EVER you do - do NOT pay attention to the FOSS patents blog run by Florian Mueller - he is literally ON Oracle’s payroll.

There is SO MUCH law predating this trial that says that APIs can’t be copyrighted, I have to believe the judge would be reversed if he goes that way. He REALLY shouldn’t have even allowed the claim to proceed because of all the per-existing decisions.
