Oracle America, a case on whether software code is copyrightable and warrants legal protection. In 2007, Google tried to launch its Android phone and used parts of Oracle’s java software code to do so, letting developers create apps without using new code in the process. This code called application programming interfaces (APIs) allows different software products to communicate with each other. Java code was created back in the 1990s by Sun Microsystems. Oracle bought the company and the Java code in 2010 and sued Google for copyright infringement. Google argued the parts of code they used are not copyright protected. The outcome of this case could impact the future of software development and innovation.
