Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Google has denied Oracle's complaint of copyright infringement in development of Android smartphone software and asked a U.S. court to dismiss Oracle's lawsuit, court documents showed.
Oracle sued Google in August, alleging patent and copyright infringement in the development of the popular Android smartphone software.
In its response filed on Monday with a California federal court, Google said Oracle's complaint included vague and broad allegations of copyright infringement. "The complaint does not specifically identify any allegedly infringing works of Google," the web search company said.
"Oracle's claim of copyright infringement fails to meet the pleading standards applicable to a claim of copyright infringement," Google said.
Google said Android was an open-source platform and all relevant source code and documentation associated with the project has been publicly available for some time.
