Oracle got bad news in its patent fight with Google: A rejection by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office of several claims on a patent that’s the subject of the lawsuit. Oracle has claimed that Google owes it more than $6 billion for parts of its Java software that were used in the Android mobile operating system.
Oracle took over Java after it acquired Sun Microsystems last year. Google has argued that Oracle’s claims for damages are flawed. It has six months to appeal the finding.
