Followups on Novell's New Litigator and Apple (Groklaw)

[Posted June 13, 2005 by cook]

Groklaw predicts a legal battle between Novell and SCO. "You will enjoy reading Lamlaw's entry for June 10, ("Novell Hires Another Lawyer for the Team - Guess What He's Good At? (Groklaw)"), because he believes that Novell may be getting ready to sue SCO for slander of title. He agrees with my guess that they didn't hire a litigator now just to watch the judge finish off the current litigation. Novell has, he believes, the necessary pieces to turn around and sue SCO for slander of title, if they first bring an action to clear the Unix title and then, after winning that, sue for slander of title and get their special damages paid by SCO, for all the annoyance SCO brought them."
