Previously, oracle Sue Google about Android operating system infringes the company?s intellectual property rights. If the two sides can in the judge?s mediation to achieve reconciliation, that means that Google will avoid the jury decided whether to pay oracle to the risk of patent fee.
Located in Washington, specially dealing with intellectual property rights lawsuit Westerman law firm Hattori Daniels and Adrian LLP attorney Scott o Daniels (Daniels, said Google st1) and the patent war like oracle tension between Russia and the United States of the cold war, the best way is to emulate Ronald Reagan and mikhail gorbachev, that two companies CEO sat down to negotiate.
Now oracle is already more than a paper litigation to Google Android operating system apple threat level, although apple and Android equipment manufacturers in the patent wars have achieved good preliminary. In reconciliation talks, page will try to avoid patent fee paid to oracle. According to Citigroup (Citigroup analyst estimates, each machine Android devices can be as high as $15 patent fee. This number may lead to Android operating system promotion speed decreases.
And the case of the other party, oracle CEO ellison also face huge profit pressure. In 2010, oracle Microsystems acquisition from, and receive and Java about intellectual property.

This also triggering questioned ellison make spent $7.3 billion acquisition of Sun microsystem Microsystems decision is correct.
Strong opponent
The United States based Ticonderoga Securities analyst Neil o Herman (Neil Herman) points out, ellison is definitely a great role. Ellison had after two years of hard work, in 2009 in the americas cup side beat Switzerland?s 0.1 billion millionaire sailing competition swing o ?(Ernesto Bertarelli) inside the tower?s defending champion, west, spirit.
The same is also patent disputes, allison?s a testifies makes the jury returned a verdict of oracle competitor Germany commercial software developer SAP AG to the compensation of $1.3 billion.

Gaza eph said, since in 1977 in California annatto beach create since oracle, straightforward ellison has been served as the company?s CEO. And for this April will be officially as Google CEO and then make huge personnel adjustment, promote seven managers as a senior executive, to simplify the company decision-making procedures.
Page, Google already have enough that the patent lawyer to cope with the allegations. Google in August spend $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola (the Po) mobile (the Motorola Mobility), so to get 17000 patents.
Evenly matched
Gaza eph said, the difference between the two ceos in skills, and lies in age. In general, they both strength evenly matched.
