SAP accepts liability in Oracle copyright case - but argues damages
SAP plans to accept responsibility for its TomorrowNow acquisition’s alleged infringement of Oracle’s copyright in a bid to resolve the long-running case more speedily, although it will seek to have damages claims reduced.

Werner Brandt, SAP’s chief financial officer, said: "By accepting responsibility for TomorrowNow’s actions, SAP is taking a decisive move to focus the issues in the case.
