An Oakland federal jury has awarded Oracle Corp. $30 million in damages for copyright infringement and $24 million for intentional interference against Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.

The verdict caps six years of litigation that included a trip to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oracle had accused HPE of working with a customer support subcontractor, Terix Computer Co., that was illegally copying and distributing updates to Oracle’s Solaris software.
