SCO tries to revive Unix System Labs name (LinuxWorld)
LinuxWorld reports
on SCO's attempt to register the "Unix System Laboratories" trademark.
"The Open Group, a San Francisco consortium that owns the trademark
to the term Unix, claims that registering the name Unix System Laboratories
would not only conflict with the Open Group's Unix trademark but would also
violate a license between SCO and the Open Group, which allows SCO to use
the term Unix. 'We'll be taking the issue up with the Patent and Trademark
Office and objecting strenuously, and we'll be taking the issue up with SCO
because it's a breach of the license they already hold with us,' said
Graham Bird, vice president of marketing with the Open Group."

They are just trying to gain some imaginary ownership of "UNIX" - since:1) They don't own the trademark - TOG does.
