Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal: U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup, who is presiding in the Oracle-Google Android patent dispute, has said that the trial will not begin until next year. He also said that he expects the trial to take a long time and that jurors in the case will likely consider it a “hardship.”
The judge had previously ordered both CEOs — Google’s Larry Page and Oracle’s Larry Elison — to meet face-to-face and work out a settlement, but they were unable to come to an agreement.
