The dispute has its origins in 2005 when Google and Sun Microsystems signed an <a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/Sun-and-Google-shake-hands\/2100-1014_3-5888701.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreement<\/a> to help spread each other\u2019s software, and when Google started to focus on the creation and launch of its new mobile platform, Android. The relationship soured soon after, with Google\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-13580_3-9949793-39.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insistence not to adhere to open-source expectations<\/a> with the Android mobile operating system, but Sun did not take any action at the time. In 2010 Oracle acquired Sun and the Java platform, opted for a more adversarial approach in protecting their newly acquired intellectual property, and filed suit against Google for infringement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cand.uscourts.gov\/filelibrary\/935\/Doc%20778%20Google%20TB%20Copyright%20Liability.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google\u2019s argument<\/a> against the copyright charges is that even if the 37 Java application programming interfaces (APIs), the entities at the core of the dispute, were copyrightable, their use of the coding constructs fall under fair use and are free to use. Fair use, as defined in the US by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.copyright.gov\/title17\/92chap1.pdf#Section107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">17 U.S.C. \u00a7 107<\/a>, relies on the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the work, the amount of the work that has been used, and the effect on the value of the work through the use. Google claims that the functional nature of APIs and the transformative manner that Google is using them in supersedes the original work and therefore qualifies as\u00a0 fair use. Also, the very small percentage of material that the alleged infringed works represent out of the entire Java operating system, and Oracle\u2019s goal for the Java platform is akin to monopolistic use and \u201cruns counter to the statutory purpose of promoting creative expression\u201d, is sufficient to prove that their use of the APIs falls within the fair use domain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cand.uscourts.gov\/filelibrary\/936\/Doc%20780%20Oracle%20TB%20Copyright%20Issues.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oracle\u2019s response<\/a> against the fair use argument centred on the commercial nature of Google\u2019s use of the copyright work and the pre-existence of a license what would cover Google\u2019s use of their IP. The mobile version of Java, Java ME, offers the license raised by Oracle that would avoid the current issue between the two tech giants. This license \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-30685_3-20013549-264.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was the dominant part of the hundreds of millions of dollars a year Sun took garnered in Java revenue<\/a>\u201d, a stream of revenue that Oracle undoubtedly wants to protect. Google has not paid for this license and Oracle and, in the event that they lose this dispute or Google is able to avoid damages, may lose a large area of revenue from their <a href=\"http:\/\/java.sun.com\/javame\/licensees\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">existing licensees<\/a> if Oracle\u2019s other clients choose to follow Google\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<p>The jury could not decide between the two arguments and the decision now rests with Judge William Alsup. It should be noted that Google\u2019s argument against the second point of the fair use \u201ctest\u201d, that only 37 APIs were used out of hundreds of thousands of lines of code comprising the Java operating system, is not as simple as it is stated. The software engineering practice of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Code_reuse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">code reuse<\/a> can mean that a very small area of code can be exponentially more important and used much more that other areas of code. This is especially true with core APIs that are provided by the language itself, such as those in dispute. Without further evidence on their popularity it would be unjust to base any decision on this argument.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Alsup must ultimately make a decision on the copyrightable nature of APIs and decide first whether APIs are copyrightable, and then whether use of an API is <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Transformation_(law)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transformative<\/a> enough to qualify for fair use or whether an existing license encapsulating the use of the APIs is sufficiently commercial to defeat a fair use claim. There is a hint of irony in this argument, as, mentioned in IP Osgoode\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iposgoode.ca\/2011\/10\/google%E2%80%99s-api-motion-to-dismiss-oracle%E2%80%99s-java-copyright-claims-is-defeated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">previous blog<\/a> on this case, it can be argued that APIs are designed solely for transformative use, so the decision places the original wishes of the software designer, Java, with the business priorities of the current owner, Oracle. In a related note, the European Court of Justice has <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2012\/05\/eus-top-court-apis-cant-be-copyrighted-would-monopolise-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently ruled<\/a> that APIs and other functional characteristics of software are not eligible for copyright protection.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute continues, and as we wait for Judge Alsup\u2019s copyright\u00a0decision the case now moves through the <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2012\/05\/oracle-v-google-patent-phase-wraps-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">patent<\/a> and damage phases of Oracle\u2019s complaint.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Mark Bowman is a JD candidate at Osgoode Hall Law
