These three are the only I've found so far:

6,529,784 Method and apparatus for monitoring computer systems and alerting users of actual or potential system errors.

6,362,836 Universal application server for providing applications on a variety of client devices in a client/server network.

6,104,392 Method of displaying an application on a variety of client devices in a client/server network.

The first is assigned to Caldera Systems, Inc. and the last two are assigned to The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.

Hmmm, seems like the last two would (should?) probably have been transferred to Tarantella, Inc.

Come to think of it. Didn't the original SCO change it's name to Tarantella while the operating systems and services divisions of the company were transferred to Caldera (now The SCO Group)?

So anything not expressly transferred would still reside with Tarantella, Inc?
