Back in 2010, Oracle accused Google of using Java’s API without licensing it from them. Google claimed that API’s can’t be patented and while the lower court agreed, that decision was partially reversed two years ago. Since then, the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the lower court for trial. Oracle, claiming that Google has made $22 billion from Android over the years, is seeking $9.3 billion from the search giant. Only $475 million of that figure is for actual damages, while the remaining $8.83 billion covers profits Google made from selling mobile ads and apps over Android.
