Oracle accuses Google of infringing its Java patents and copyrights in Google's Android OS. Google denies any wrongdoing, saying it developed a clean-room version of Java and built Android without using Oracle's protected code.

The trial is being heard in three phases. Lawyers made their in the copyright portion of the trial Monday morning, and the jury has been in deliberations ever since. The next phase, expected to start next week, will address Oracle's patent claims, and the final phase will determine any damages it should be awarded.

The jury indicated Thursday evening that they in their copyright deliberations, but the judge told them to keep trying. Just before 1 p.m. Pacific Time Friday, they sent a note to the judge saying they were ready to deliver a partial verdict.

Before the jury entered the courtroom, the judge asked the lawyers how they wanted to proceed.

"They've worked hard, they've asked good questions, and if they have a partial verdict, we should take that," Michael Jacobs, an attorney for Oracle, told the judge. Google's Robert Van Nest agreed.
