Google legal battle with Oracle may take a new turn with Google's decision to ask USPTO to re-examine a number of Oracle patents.Google requested ex parte reexamination of four Oracle America patents - U.S. Patent Nos. 5,966,702, 6,061,520, 6,125,447 & Re 38,104 – related to the Java platform. This result is in conjunction with the Google-Oracle battle over intellectual property rights with Oracle litigating against Google claiming Google backed Android Operating system violated Oracle's based java patents and copyrights.Looking at the time span and statistics of USPTO exparte re- examination requests (patent re-examinations on average take about 26 months). With these statistics it appears that there will be a significant delay in the actual trial which gives an absolutely different turn to the case.On the other side if the infringement is proved it could lead to loss of royalties as well as the market shares and dominance affecting both the tech giant firms.Well the due course of time will direct the outcomes on further proceedings in this case.
