> "very little precedent"? Judge Alsup specifically told Google's counsel to address the Johnson Controls decision.

Yes, and Alsup just asked Google and Oracle to address the EU decision on SAS v. WPL. They've both addressed many other relevant cases. Is this what we're going on?

> You are simply wrong on this. Why is a similar case not considered prior applicable precedent?

That was not what I wrote. What I said was that Johnson is not the only applicable precedent and that it was ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Johnson Controls decision has more weight compared to the EU decision.
