Oracle Corp. (ORCL) is seeking billions of dollars in damages in a patent- and copyright-infringement lawsuit against Google Inc. (GOOG) that claims the search-engine company’s Android software uses technology related to the Java programming language, according to court papers.
The extent of the claims was disclosed yesterday in San Francisco federal court by Oracle, as it sought to prevent Google from filing under seal documents in the case stating Oracle’s monetary claims.
“Oracle’s damages claims in this case are in the billions of dollars,” the company said in a filing, arguing that its demands “are based on both accepted methodology and a wealth of concrete evidence.”
“They should not be hidden from public view,” Oracle said.
Oracle got Java when it bought Sun Microsystems. I would expect that any legal battle might takes years to resolve. But someone must think they have a case.

Shares of Pandora Media (P) are up $2.54, or 16%, at $18.54, having given up more than half the bounce they experienced during the earlier part of the session, when the stock rose as high as $26 after pricing last night at $16.
No need to wait for the underwriters to chase the stock: Maxim Group’s John Tinker has a note initiating coverage this morning, with a Buy rating and a $23 price target.
“Pandora only has 3% of all radio listening – suggesting a lot of runway,” writes Tinker, and he thinks the company will increase share by producing a better advertising product: “Advertisers appreciate the service, as display ads can be offered in an immersive experience where listeners actively participate.” Most of the business is based on ads, while only 2.4% of users actually pay Pandora the $36-per-year subscription, he notes.

100 MM IPO ?

La croissance de Facebook est-elle en train de baisser ? A en croire les données du site Inside Facebook, le réseau social en ligne commencerait à perdre des utilisateurs sur plusieurs de ses marchés historiques.
Les analystes, qui s'appuient sur l'outil publicitaire de Facebook pour établir leurs statistiques, ont ainsi décompté 149,4 millions d'utilisateurs actifs aux Etats-Unis le mois dernier, soit 6 millions de moins qu'en avril. Le nombre de membres aurait aussi légèrement reculé au Royaume-Uni et au Canada.
Avec 687 millions d'utilisateurs actifs, l'audience de Facebook s'afficherait toutefois toujours en hausse dans l'ensemble du globe (+11,8 millions en un mois), grâce à une popularité grandissante dans des pays émergents comme le Mexique (+1,9 million), le Brésil (+1,9 million) ou encore l'Inde (+1,7 million).
Ces chiffres non officiels doivent évidemment être pris avec précaution. En effet, la notion d'utilisateur actif reste floue et Inside Facebook ne détaille pas sa méthode de calcul. Ces données devront aussi se confirmer sur plusieurs mois pour marquer une vraie tendance. D'autant que d'autres mesures d'audience, comme celle de comScore, n'ont pas décelé de baisse aux Etats-Unis lors du même mois.
Cela constitue toutefois un avertissement pour la société fondée par Mark Zuckerberg. "Lorsque l'audience de Facebook atteint 50% de la population d'un pays, sa croissance commence à ralentir", note Inside Facebook.
Pour trouver des relais de croissance, le site lorgne notamment la Chine et ses plus de 450 millions de personnes connectées à Internet. Censuré dans l'Empire du Milieu, le groupe songerait à créer un réseau social en partenariat avec le moteur de recherche local, Baidu.
