Former Google Android Engineer Removed Java Tech After Suit 04/25 05:26 PM

SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones)--A former Google Inc. (GOOG) engineer who played a key role developing the Android mobile phone software--now under legal fire from Oracle Corp. (ORCL) --testified that he removed some elements of Sun's Java technology after litigation had begun.

Oracle bought Sun in early 2010 and sued Google roughly eight months later. The Redwood Shores, Calif., business software giant alleges Google copied portions of Java and that Android therefore infringes copyrights and patents that protect the technology.

Wednesday, the former Google engineer, Dan Bornstein, said he removed some elements of Java from Android last year after Oracle had filed its lawsuit.
