Today, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) opens its new term, without Justice Thomas – who is ill – and with the Amy Coney Barrett nomination moving through the Senate.
First up, the Court will hear oral arguments in the Google v. Oracle case – “a potentially $9 billion copyright case that's been a decade in the making, including a several month delay after the Supreme Court pushed the case off the docket last term as a result of the pandemic.” With its decision, SCOTUS will ”establish a copyright precedent that will impact much more than the tech ecosystem.”
