According to information from the site Business Insider, on 9 May, a court hearing will be held with both companies where Oracle will ask the million dollar compensation for economic damages.
the dispute between companies dates back to 2010, after Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, Java developer and accused Google to use certain parts of this programming language in its Android system.
Meanwhile, Google has argued its use of Java is covered by fair use, which allows limited copying, which means it does not owe Oracle any financial compensation.
according to Fortune, Oracle requested payment of US $ 475 million in damages plus $ 8,800 related to “profit assigned to the copyright of Java violated” millions.
