After they had about one day to take a look over patent lawsuits by Oracle against Android from Google regarding Java, the complaint has been called “baseless” by this search giant. This would mean that it is actually gearing up to fight legally.

A spokesperson from Google said:

We are utterly disappointed as Oracle has decided to attack both the community of open-source Java and Google with this kind of baseless lawsuit. The community of open-source Java goes beyond any particular one corporation it works every single day just to make web a much better place. Hence we will defend the open-source standards strongly and will continuously work with this industry for developing the platform for Android.

At its complaint, Oracle stated that the operating system of Android mobilephones from Google infringes upon multiple property patents those are intellectual regarding Java. Android though based on Linux uses Java in much of its layers of application. Oracle is also stating that the Development Kit of Android Software infringes upon few of its patents too.

Once Java was thought to be some language of write-once, but run everywhere type but never it did quite live up to those billing thanks to several forking. It is quite versatile still, though.

Some parts of the Java apps were somehow made pretty available under a license of open source by Oracle and Sun spent about the amount of $5 billion in order to acquire the Sun as well as Java patents which are applicable for this.

Google never even appears like it will very soon back down, which would precisely mean a drawn-out, lengthy, legal battle. In general, this kind of lawsuit takes even years after years just in order to resolve it and end up most with a mere settlement and licensing agreement out-of-court.
