May 3: Can Google Help Itself to Some Java? Google v. Oracle - APIs, Fair Use, and Copyright Law

Extra Mile Law, PLLC, is pleased to present another CLE class in its Monday CLE webinar series. Join Jonathan Grad of Extra Mile Law, PLLC for this fast-moving, basic class about the recent Supreme Court decision in Google v. Oracle.
The case dealt with whether Google infringed on Oracle's copyright when Google copied portions of an Application Programming Interface (API) owned by Oracle.
We will look briefly at aspects of copyrighting computer programs and focus on copyright law and the fair use doctrine as discussed by the Court. We will include a brief background explanation of APIs and their use in computer programming.
This basic class will be taught at a level suitable for people without any copyright law background and without any computer programming background.
The goal of the class is to introduce the participants to some basic concepts concerning software, copyright law, and fair use using Google v. Oracle as a framework.
