>the Supreme Court denied certiorari

They denied the original appeal over copyrightable APIs. There was a second trial over Google's fair use argument and the jury ruled for Google. Oracle appealed and the Federal Circuit ruled against Google again. That decision was appealed to SCOTUS on January 24, 2019. Google's petition challenged both decisions by the Federal Circuit: APIs are copyrightable and Google's use of the Java API wasn't fair use. Certiorari was granted November 15, 2019 and arguments were planned for October 7, 2020.
