The SCO v. Novell Summary Judgment Motions: Chart
Monday, March 30 2009 @ 11:51 AM EDT

Erwan has put together for us a chart of all the motions in SCO v. Novell that were decided prior to trial in the August 10, 2007 Order and the final two motions decided after trial in the July 16, 2008 Order. Since SCO is appealing that order, based in part on the idea that some motions should not have been decided on summary judgment and needed to go to trial before a jury, it seems a good time to organize them all, so you can follow the arguments in the appeal, particularly if you are thinking of attending oral argument. Novell will file its response shortly, and oral argument will be on May 6, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom I, Byron White U.S. Courthouse, Denver, CO.

If you are thinking of attending, and you can, here's the scoop: cell phones that take pictures will be confiscated at the entrance. Laptops are allowed. Observers may attend any hearing of interest without prior registration. Map. As with all judicial centers under Colorado law and federal law, the Byron White US Courthouse is a federal government building which means no permitted concealed weapons, photo ID is required for entrance, and you may be subject to electronic search at the entrances. The court recommends that you call the day before or check the website for the "Argument Calendar" and that you are at the door, ready to go in at least 15 minutes before the session you are interested in is scheduled to start.

We aimed at keeping this table as simple as possible. For every last detail, you can visit Groklaw's Novell timeline page. The chart is nevertheless quite elaborate, so if you notice any errors, please let us know.

Groklaw's Timelines allow simple click navigation between related entries, with links to PDFs, plain text versions, and articles mentioning the motion. So the best entry point may be the 10-Aug-2007 order [377] and work around from there, since that is the order that ruled on the motions. Alternatively, you can start from any of the motions: [147], [171], [180], [224], [258], [271], [273], [275] or [277]

    Principle
    Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, March 30 2009 @ 12:24 PM EDT

    Out of principle, I choose to deliberate post "anonymously" starting my own thread and not conforming to the "anonymous posts here" thread. My appologies P.J. for not posting anything else - whether on-topic or off.

    I find it .... I'm not sure how to describe. But having someone - anonymous or otherwise - post a thread for "anonymous posts to conform to" feels to me to insult the integrity on which the democratic system was built.

    The primary example would be the letters posted anonymously about the injustices being applied to the American peoples by the British prior to the revolution which resulted in the creation of the US Constitution.

    If that "anon-here" thread was posted as a joke, it was in poor taste.

    As always, it would be most helpful if you were to put the title of the Groklaw
    newspick item you are referring to in the title of your post.

    News from a patent blog : microsoft V tom tom
    Authored by: garry bloke on Monday, March 30 2009 @ 01:22 PM EDT
    According to the press statement

    "The cases have been settled through a patent agreement under which TomTom will pay Microsoft for coverage under the eight car navigation and file management systems patents in the Microsoft case.

    Also as part of the agreement, Microsoft receives coverage under the four patents included in the TomTom countersuit. The agreement, which has a five-year term, does not require any payment by Microsoft to TomTom.

    The agreement includes patent coverage for Microsoft’s three file management systems patents provided in a manner that is fully compliant with TomTom’s obligations under the General Public License Version 2 (GPLv2). TomTom will remove from its products the functionality related to two file management system patents (the “FAT LFN patents”), which enables efficient naming, organizing, storing and accessing of file data. TomTom will remove this functionality within two years, and the agreement provides for coverage directly to TomTom’s end customers under these patents during that time.
