I'm not a learned counsel with respect to intellectural property. But, does anyone know whether is an analogous doctrine in intellectural property law of the notion of "squatter's rights?"
A squatter on land can earn legal title to the land upon which he squats if he squats for the statutory period of time. The legal term for sqatter's rights is title by adverse possession.
Otherwise, might SCO have lost its property rights by something like abandonment of the rights to the public domain?
