A U.S. federal judge told Oracle Corp to propose a financial settlement in a lawsuit that the software giant filed against rival SAP AG in which Oracle has claimed that damages may top $1 billion. Oracle filed the claim against the German software maker in March 2007, accusing SAP's U.S.-based TomorrowNow services unit of illegally using customer log-ins to steal copyrighted materials from Oracle's website. SAP spokesman Saswato Das said his company would cooperate with the court's request. California courts regularly require parties in civil lawsuits attempt to settle before they go to court.
