Oracle v. SAP trial has kicked off this week in federal court in Oakland, Calif.
The litigation stems from the actions of a now-shuttered SAP unit called TomorrowNow, which Oracle accused of improperly downloading software and documents from its website. SAP is not contesting the facts, but the two sides disagree about how much SAP should pay in damages as a result.
Oracle has asked for $2 billion. Robert Mittelstaedt, an attorney for Jones Day representing SAP, said the proper amount is closer to $40 million. "They want a bonanza that is out of all proportion to the harm that they suffered," he said.
