Intellectual property in Silicon Valley 硅谷知识产权之争 Rumble in the Java jungle Java丛林大战 The legal fight between Oracle and Google isarcane, but the stakes are high 甲骨文和谷歌之间的诉讼晦涩难解，牵涉的商业利益却是非常巨大 LARRY ELLISON and Larry Page, the bosses ofOracle and Google, share a name. 甲骨文的老板拉里埃里森和谷歌的老板拉里佩奇都有一个相同的名字， But they clearly do not share the same view of a particular intellectual property matter. 但他们在某些知识产权问题上的看法却是迥然不同。 On April 16th a jury began hearing arguments in a trial to determine whether Google sAndroid operating system infringes copyrights and patents owned by Oracle. 4月16日，为确定谷歌的安卓操作系统是否侵犯了甲骨文的版权和专利，陪审团开始听取法庭辩论。 The outcome could shake up the Android world of more than 300m mobile devices. 审理的结果也许会震动安卓业界，这一产业涵盖了超过3亿部的移动设备。 The judge has called the trial the World Series of IPcases. That sounds about rightthough both firms are far more global than the baseballcontest in the analogy. |
