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 RE

WILLFULNESS AND BAD

FAITH BEFORE FEDERAL

CIRCUIT DECISION

From 2012 to 2014, the law in this case held that the declaring lines of code and the

structure, sequence, and organization were not copyrightable. That was reversed by the 2014

ruling of the Federal Circuit, but an issue for us in this follow-on trial is whether and to what

extent the jury may consider the law in the case prior to the 2014 holding by the Federal Circuit

in evaluating willfulness and bad faith by Google during that period. Please cite decisions on

point on or before MONDAY AT NOON. Please include decisions, pro and con, not just those on

your side.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 12, 2016. WILLIAM ALSUP
