Because of the way this decision went, I’m sure Google considers it a worthy investment and Oracle considers it a temporary setback as it pursues other extortion schemes using Sun’s Patents. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a specific division of lawyers dedicated to finding novel ways of extorting wealth using Patents; this would likely just be one of the cases they were working on.
Come to think of it, from Oracles perspective it was definitely worth a shot, to throw a few millions (if that?) with a chance of winning billions.
