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 RESPONSE RE

FOURTH FAIR USE FACTOR

By MONDAY AT NOON, both sides shall please submit a memo assisting the Court with

the legal issue of whether the fourth fair use factor, which considers “the effect of the use upon

the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work,” focuses on the potential market for

or value of the copyrighted work itself as opposed to uncopyrighted hypothetical products that

might have included elements of the copyrighted work in an alternate universe.

Put differently, under the law, does the fourth factor focus on the impact of Android’s

use of the structure, sequence, and organization of the 37 API packages on what Java 2

Standard Edition 1.4 or Java 2 Standard Edition 5.0 could be sold for in the market place? 

Please also summarize the specific evidence that will be presented on this specific question.

Please do NOT EXCEED TEN PAGES (no footnotes or attachments).

Dated: April 6, 2016. WILLIAM ALSUP
