Oracle v. Google - Rock, Meet Hard Place

Before a trial date will be set, the issue of damages methodology must be finally sorted out. Put differently, the Court will not set a trial date until Oracle adopts a proper damages methodology, even assuming a third try is allowed (or unless Oracle waives damages beyond those already allowed to go to the jury). For this “delay,” Oracle has no one to blame but itself, given that twice now it has advanced improper methodologies obviously calculated to reach stratospheric numbers. [emphasis added]
