Could a lawsuit derail Android? Understanding Oracle's threat to Google (Digital Trends)

Digital Trends - The major patent and copyright infringement case between Google and Oracle over technology included in Android looks like it may be going to trial, just not anytime soon. Judge William Alsup issued his preliminary trial plan to both sides Wednesday, noting that the trial is not going to get started in 2011—and everyone involved had better get prepared for a long-drawn out proceeding rather than a quick summary trial. Judge Alsup outlined plans for a three-phase jury trial—phase one to cover copyright claims, phase two to cover patent claims, and a third phase for all remaining issues. The judge noted that the court needs lead time for prepare, and that includes jury selection and preparation for the lengthy disruptions jurors can expect to face. And still, no trial date has been set.
