The jury looking into the trial between Oracle and Google, has ruled that it has found that Google infringed upon some of Oracle Corp's copyrights on the Java programming language.

The trial over the copyright infringement of Java in the Android software by Google also included other questions, on which Oracle received a setback. The jury remained undecided on whether Google's actions were fair and was legally allowed. The fair use question will be determining issue n deciding upon the compensation that is to be paid by Google to the company.

The jury involving seven women and five men began deliberating the issue on Tuesday and has said that they are yet to reach a decision on whether or not Google simply copied Java code or if added enough utility to the platform.

The trail is mainly based on Oracle's claims that the open source Android software infringes on the patents and copyrights of Java. Google has repeatedly refutes these allegations since the lawsuit was filed by the company seven months ago.

The Java programming technology was created by Sun Microsystems about two decades earlier. The technology was transferred to Oracle as part of its takeover of Sun. It acquired the rights to Java when it bought Sun Microsystems for $7.3 billion in January 2010.
