ORACLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
May 31, 2010
alleges that TomorrowNow’s business model relied on illegal copies of Oracle’s underlying software applications and that TomorrowNow used these copies as
generic software environments that TomorrowNow then used to create fixes and updates, to service customers and to train employees. The Second Amended
Complaint also alleges that these practices may have extended to other Oracle products, including Siebel products.
On October 8, 2008, Oracle filed a Third Amended Complaint pursuant to stipulation. The Third Amended Complaint made some changes relating to the Oracle
plaintiff entities (removing Oracle Corporation and adding Oracle Systems Corporation, Oracle EMEA Ltd., and J.D. Edwards Europe Ltd.) but did not change
the substantive allegations. On October 15, 2008, the SAP Defendants filed a motion to dismiss portions of the Third Amended Complaint, and after full briefing,
the court heard oral argument on November 26, 2008. On December 15, 2008, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion. The court
dismissed with prejudice the claims asserted by plaintiffs JD Edwards Europe Ltd. and Oracle Systems Corporation, and denied the motion in all other respects.
The parties are in the process of concluding discovery.
On July 15, 2009, Oracle filed a motion for leave to file a Fourth Amended Complaint to add claims for infringement of Oracle’s Siebel software and database
programs. The Court granted Oracle’s motion and Oracle filed its Fourth Amended Complaint on August 18, 2009. The SAP Defendants filed an Answer to
Oracle’s Fourth Amended Complaint on August 26, 2009.
On August 26, 2009, the SAP Defendants filed an early motion for summary judgment directed to Oracle’s damages theory. After full briefing, the motion was
heard on October 28, 2009. By order dated January 28, 2010, SAP’s motion for partial summary judgment was denied.
On March 3, 2010, the SAP Defendants and Oracle each filed motions for partial summary judgment. Opposition briefs were filed on March 31, 2010, and reply
briefs were filed April 14, 2010. The Court heard oral argument on the motions for partial summary judgment on May 5, 2010, but has not yet ruled on the
motions.
Trial is scheduled to begin on November 1, 2010.
Other Litigation
We are party to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings
and claims that relate to acquisitions we have completed or to companies we have acquired or are attempting to acquire. While the outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these claims or any of the above mentioned legal matters will have a materially
adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
