Jurors deciding whether Google Inc. stole Oracle Inc.’s technology are deadlocked on one of three questions about whether the search engine provider infringed copyrights to build Android software now used on more than 300 million phones.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco, presiding over an intellectual property trial in its third week, sent the jurors home today and ordered them to return May 7 for more deliberations. He said earlier he would accept a partial verdict today and changed his plan after talking privately with Oracle’s and Google’s lawyers.
