The US law is highly dependent on precedents. The Google-Oracle case has set one fortunately, so anything following it won't start from scratch. Fortunately we may not need a closer judge.

Google-Oracle side stepped the issue of API copyrightability by saying Google's particular implementation would fall under fair use. Whether APIs are copyrightable remains an open question.
