A selection of slides from Oracle's 91-page presentation to court, designed to push its claim that Google needs to pay it billions of dollars for using Java technology in Android
Oracle's suit against Google over unauthorised use of Java code in Android has finally reached court, in a trial that could ultimately determine whether programming languages can be copyrighted.

In particular, it will hinge on whether a licence is needed for the use of the programming language in the software development kit for the Android software stack and on Android's use of the Dalvik virtual machine, which supports Java-scripted apps.
On Tuesday, Oracle delivered a 91-page slide presentation outlining its main arguments as the case got under way. This is a selection of the slides, which cover emails and quotes from Google executives to support Oracle's contention that the company deliberately ignored or tried to get around Java's licence requirements.
