Google will lose on purpose. The ruling is more valuable than the money they'll lose to oracle.

$9-10B? Even for Google that's not a small amount, and the fact that Google asked SCOTUS to have a look means that they care, otherwise they would be fine with the Federal Circuit decision.

But there is zero indication google is trying to sabotage their own case.
