A judge handed Oracle Corp. another pretrial victory in its feud with rival Rimini Street Inc. this week, ruling that Rimini Street infringed Oracle’s copyrights and that Oracle didn’t defame Rimini Street by calling it an IP thief. The ruling chips away at the obstacles confronting Oracle and its lawyers at Bingham McCutchen and Boies, Schiller & Flexner as they inch toward a long-awaited trial.
In a 32-page ruling issued on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks in Reno ruled that Rimini Street engaged in copyright infringement by making copies of Oracle’s Relational Database Management Software (the “Oracle Database”). The judge rejected Rimini Street’s defenses that it had an implied license to the software and that Oracle unreasonably delayed in claiming infringement.
