According to the court docket, “Oracle Corp and Alphabet's Google unit failed to settle a long running copyright lawsuit over the Android operating system ahead of a retrial scheduled for May”The case proves that how much copyright guard should expand to the Java programming language, that Google used to design Android. Oracle is seeking billions in royalties for Google's use of some of the Java language; although Google argues it should be able to use Java without paying a fee.

At trial in San Francisco federal court in 2012, the jury deadlocked on Google's fair use defense. Both companies participated in a court-ordered settlement conference on Friday before a US magistrate in San Jose, California, in an attempt to stave off retrial next month.

Sundar Pichai (Google Chief Executive) and  Safra Catz(Oracle CEO) both attended, but talks were unsuccessful, US Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal wrote in a brief statement.

"After an earlier run at settling this case failed, the court observed that some cases just need to be tried," grewal wrote

Grewal wrote. "This case apparently needs to be tried twice."
