The lawsuit was first filed in 2010. There was already a trial in 2012, but after an appeal to the Federal Circuit, the parties underwent second trial over copyrighted code.

At the end of their third day of deliberation, the jury found that Google's use of the declaring code and the structure, sequence, and organization of the Java APIs in the Android code was a fair use.

After the verdict was read aloud, Judge William Alsup thanked the jury for their service, noting that the jurors—who often came to court even earlier than the set start time of 7:45 AM, and lingered after hours to pore over their notes—had been "attentive" and "worked hard."
