SAP Ordered to Pay Oracle $1.3 Billion; New York Times, 11/24/10

Verne G. Kopytoff, New York Times; SAP Ordered to Pay Oracle $1.3 Billion:

"A clash of technology titans and two of the most powerful executives in Silicon Valley ended on Tuesday with a $1.3 billion federal jury award against SAP for stealing software from Oracle to try to woo away customers.

The award, the largest ever for copyright infringement, comes as big technology companies, including Apple, Google and Motorola, have increasingly resorted to the courts to resolve patent and intellectual property disputes instead of quietly working out a deal."
