Google copied over 11,000 lines of computer code, called declaring code, owned by Oracle. Ten years after Oracle filed suit, the Supreme Court will hear the oral argument on October 7, 2020. Google says the code is purely functional, is uncopyrightable because there’s only one way to write it, and in any case their copying was fair use. Oracle, backed by the Solicitor General, says its code is creative expression that falls squarely into what Congress intended to protect and that Google’s copying was non-transformative infringement. Join us for a review of oral arguments in Google v. Oracle on the afternoon of October 7th by an all-star panel.
Featuring:
Jordana Rubel, Assistant General Counsel, U.S. Copyright Office, which co-wrote the government's brief
Prof. Michael Risch, Vice Dean and Professor of Law, Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law; author of amicus brief in support of Google
Moderator: Steven Tepp, President & CEO, Sentinel Worldwide; Professorial Lecturer in Law at The George Washington University Law School; author of amicus brief in support of Oracle
