Oracle Corp. and Google unit alphabet failed to settle a claim of copyright longtime Android operating system ahead of a new trial scheduled for May, according to a court record.
The dispute concerns the amount of copyright protection should be extended to Java programming language, Google uses to design Android. Oracle seeks billions in royalties for the use of Google for some of the Java language, while Google claims that it should be able to use Java without paying a fee.
At the trial in federal court in San Francisco in 2012, the jury was unable to defend fair use of Google. Both companies have participated in a conference organized by conciliation court Friday for a judge in the United States in San Jose, California, in an attempt to avoid retrial next month.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai and CEO of Oracle, Safra Catz both participated, but negotiations were unsuccessful, US Judge Judge Paul Grewal wrote in a brief statement.
"After an earlier case will not solve this execution, the Court noted that some cases only be treated," Grewal wrote. "This case appears to be tried twice."
Representatives of both companies could not be reached immediately for comment.
