Judge Rejects SCO's Motion For a New Trial

Posted by timothy on from the civil-procedure's-too-good-for-'em dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A judge has rejected SCO's motion for a new trial in the company's dispute over UNIX intellectual property ownership. The ruling validates a verdict that was issued in April by a jury who determined that Novell, and not SCO, is the rightful owner of the UNIX SVRX copyrights. This means SCO cannot continue to pursue its litigation against IBM and other Linux users. 'There was substantial evidence that Novell made an intentional decision to retain ownership of the copyrights,' the judge wrote in his decision. 'The Court finds that the verdict is not clearly, decidedly, or overwhelmingly against the weight of the evidence. Therefore, SCO is not entitled to a new trial.'"

    Even funnier, the gp, which just mentioned that groklaw had covered the SCO case, has been modded "insightful", bloody hell, maybe if I post a comment pointing out that rain falls, or goldfish swim, possibly that the Pope is catholic, I should expect to also be modded "insightful".

    What a load of old bollocks, pity these sad people can't accept criticism.....
