Oracle Corp and Google faced off on Tuesday in a $9 billion copyright retrial, with Oracle accusing Google of stealing programming to become the world's leading smartphone player and Google saying it acted legally as a true innovator.( E/ p6 M7 b1 a3 p0 b- {- L  B

Oracle (ORCL.N) claims Google's Android smartphone operating system violated its copyright on parts of the Java programming language, while Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google says it should be able to use Java without paying a fee under the fair-use provision of copyright law.; U0 U) X3 L: l9 w) e% @; r4 j

The dispute previously went to trial in 2012, but a jury deadlocked. If the new jury in San Francisco federal court rules against Google on fair use, then it will consider Oracle's $9 billion damages request.9 b- d1 w) q( _3 r/ Q6 f0 P

The case has been closely watched by software developers who fear an Oracle victory could spur more software copyright lawsuits. However, investors see little risk for Google because the company could afford to pay a one-off fine, and the possibility of an injunction that would force Google to pay ongoing royalties to Oracle appears remote.

Oracle argues that Google improperly used Java to quickly deliver an Android smartphone to market. Under cross examination, Schmidt acknowledged that he had been on Apple's board and felt "strategic pressure" from the iPhone in 2007.( G3 s0 F2 a' [( X! t; k
