oracle america, inc. v. google, inc. is a current legal case within the united states related to the nature of computer code and copyright law. the dispute arose from oracle's copyright and patent claims on google's android operating system. oracle had come into ownership of the java programming language including its patents, documentation and libraries through the language's application programming interfaces (apis), through its acquisition of sun microsystems. oracle made this information freely available to developers to use, but licensed its standard implementation on various platforms including mobile devices. google developed its android operating system atop the java language, including its apis and a cleanroom version of the standard implementation, to build its own mobile device platform. while sun had not taken action against google prior to its acquisition, oracle became concerned that the android operating system was a competing product, and filed a lawsuit against google, claiming both copyright and patent violations. google claimed that it was unaware of any patent infringements and that its use of the freely available apis was within fair use allowances. oracle has sought upward of in damages due to the commercial success of the android system.
