U.S. District Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California’s investigation into financial relationships that Google and Oracle had with bloggers or other commenters on their heavyweight IP case has come to a quiet end.
In a brief order Tuesday, Alsup said he would “take no further action regarding the subject of payments by the litigants to commentators and journalists.” He went on to reassure “both sides that no commentary has in any way influenced the court’s orders and ruling herein save and except for any treatise or article expressly cited in an order or ruling.”
