IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ORACLE AMERICA, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 GOOGLE INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-03561 WHA

REQUEST FOR BRIEFING

ON JURY INSTRUCTION,

APPEAL AND JURY

QUESTIONNAIRE

The Court intends to instruct the jury on fair use by adapting the fair-use opinion

rendered in this very case by the Federal Circuit, not quite word for word, but very close to it. 

By MARCH 7 AT NOON, each side will please submit a memorandum up to SEVEN PAGES

(no attachments, no footnotes) identifying anything that should be added or subtracted from that

fair-use opinion in formulating that part of the jury instructions. The memorandum should also

address whether any appeal in this retrial will go to the Ninth Circuit versus the Federal Circuit

and cite to jurisdictional authorities on point.

Also, by FEBRUARY 29 AT NOON, counsel will please advise the Court concerning their

proposed plan for disseminating and collecting the jury questionnaire, what instructions the

judge would give prior to having potential jurors complete the questionnaire, and what delays

would be involved in this plan. Additionally, will both sides agree that answers to the

questionnaire will not later be used to impeach the verdict?
