IP Attorney - Why SCO Has No Case
OSS_ilation writes "In an interview over at SearchOpenSource.com, IP attorney Thomas Carey shoots down SCO's cases against IBM and Novell, but predicts that SCO will fight a losing battle to its last. IT directors shouldn't worry about SCO Group's latest sallies in its legal war on Linux vendors IBM Corp. and Novell Inc., Clarey says, and explains why SCO has no case, predicts the open source legal fields of battle for 2006 and discusses SCO's claims against Novell. Carey chairs the Business Practice Group of Bromberg & Sunstein LLP, an intellectual property law practice in Boston, Mass." Groklaw, as always, has additional details and commentary on this.
The ironic thing is that the full text of the article just DID receive a -1 redundant mod.
And in other news, fire is hot!
I think it's about time for me to get a degree in patent law. These lawyers must just be giggling all the way to the bank with these idiotic cases. Lawyer: "You want to sue IBM? Why?" Idiot: "I invented computers, they stole my idea!" Lawyer: . o O ( $$$ BIG MONEY $$$ ) "Sure I'll take the case; however, you still have to pay if you don't win." Idiot: "I don't care, I'm gonna win!" Lawyer: . o O ( $$$ NEW HOUSE! $$$) "Alright, let's get the paperwork done!"
