Google: No Paid Bloggers Here, Your Honor
|
Remember how last week the judge in the all-but-concluded case of Oracle vs. Google ordered the two companies to disclose whom, if anyone, they might have been paying to write about the case? Yeah, that.
So anyway, today was the deadline for the companies to drop their filings, and, well, here they are. Short answer: Oracle reiterated what it said before, that it had retained the patent law blogger Florian Mueller, he of Foss Patents, as a paid consultant in the case, though this wasn’t exactly news since Mueller and Oracle had both already disclosed the relationship. It also mentioned an Oracle corporate blogger who wrote about the case while it was going on.
Google for its part appears to have shrugged. “Neither Google nor its counsel has paid an author, journalist, commentator or blogger to report or comment on any issues in this case. And neither Google nor its counsel has been involved in any quid pro quo in exchange for coverage of or articles about the issues in this case.”
