132 claims by Oracle will be reduced to 3.  And those 129 not chosen are
forever surrendered (well, except with reference to new products).

Sort of an interesting process whereby oracle self selects down to 40
claims, then google (through their own self-selection) reduces its prior
art evidence down to 120 references, then oracle self-selects down to 20
claims, then google to 60 prior art references, and finally the
reduction to the final numbers (3 claims and 8 prior art refs).

Sounds like a lot of overtime for the lawyers...

The trial (if it happens) won't happen before Oct.
