Oracle is due to receive a hefty amount in legal damages from SAP, but the database giant wants more.
In early August, SAP agreed to pay Oracle $306 million following a trial that found SAP guilty of copyright infringement. The jury verdict reached in 2010 determined that Oracle should receive $1.3 billion in damages.
But last September, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton deemed that amount excessive and gave Oracle a choice of accepting $272 million in damages or requesting a new trial.
The amount ballooned to the $306 million agreed upon last month. Oracle's general counsel Dorian Daley added to the total owed saying that SAP would have to pay "a minimum of $426 million, including attorneys' fees."
But the appeal launched by Oracle means the database company may now be looking for millions more in damages, according to Reuters.
