Actually Oracle only made two patent infringement claims against Google -- rangeCheck wasn't one of them -- and Google didn't argue prior art against either of them.

ETA: They argued non-infringement.

Just for correctness, Oracle made 7 patent infringement claims against Google, and was left with only 2 by the time of the trial because of the reexaminations.

And Google didn't argue invalidity because they agreed (to streamline the trial).

That's fair enough. I don't know a whole lot about these things but I guess my intentions as to what I was trying to say were pretty clear. Thanks for clarifying that for me though.
