Oracle says it wants $2.6 billion in damages from Google, not the inflated $6.1 billion Google put the number at or the paltry $1.4 billion Google has also read into the calculations made by Oracle's expert.

Oracle told the court hearing its Java infringement case against Android that the damages should "be split between a $0.9-$1.4 billion upfront payment plus a revenue share of between 10% and 15% of Google advertising revenues on Android phones."

The number is nowhere near the 50% "even split" Google alleged before Oracle insisted it stop redacting court documents to suit itself or even the "over 20%" Google then came up with.

Oracle claims so-called Java fragmentation adds nothing to its expert's calculations.

Case follower Florian Mueller says there's still room for the damages to be trebled for the willful infringement Oracle alleges.

He also says that Oracle's number projects Google infringing "at least some of the asserted rights ‘through 2021.'"

However, Oracle also wants an injunction and Florian thinks Oracle could get it if Google is found to infringe.

An injunction would limit the damages to past mischief, he says, but cast Google into the uncomfortable and expensive position of trying to negotiate a license deal with Oracle.

Florian also imagines Oracle might demand technical changes in Android to bring it somewhat in line with official Java rules and specifications.

Google, Florian says, "wouldn't be able to force Oracle to offer a license on any particular terms, not even the ones found in the damages report by Oracle's expert. With an injunction in its hands, Oracle would have an absolute right to say no."
