Hearing on Sale of SCO's Java Patent April 20th |

The SCO bankruptcy hearing on the sale of the Java patent will be on April 20. That's this proposed sale to Liberty Lane for $100,000, and that's an LLC affiliated with Allied Security Trust, the anti-patent-trolls company, if you've dropped a stitch and can't keep up as SCO's assets get sold off bit by bit. If anyone else has bid, other than Liberty Lane, then there would be an auction on the 19th, but SCO told the court they don't expect that to happen.
Here is the Notice regarding what will be heard on the 20th:
1107 -
Filed & Entered: 04/16/2010
Notice of Matters Scheduled for Hearing (B)
Docket Text: Notice of Agenda of Matters Scheduled for Hearing Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. Hearing scheduled for 4/20/2010 at 04:00 PM at US Bankruptcy Court, 824 Market St., 6th Fl., Courtroom #3, Wilmington, Delaware. (Fatell, Bonnie)
1108 -
Filed & Entered: 04/16/2010
Certification of Counsel
Docket Text: Certification of Counsel Regarding Omnibus Hearing Dates Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. (Fatell, Bonnie) The second document is just the list from the court of the next dates set aside for SCO omnibus hearings. Sigh. The winding down of SCO, as we await the next chapter in what will be, no doubt, another fascinating chapter of the apparently eternal SCO litigation saga.

Wouldn't any patent around JAVA be obvious, as in no real invention...? Kinda
like that combination of devices (already invented) in the case that the Supreme
Court came up with the "obvious" ruling?

an LLC affiliated with Allied Security Trust,
the
anti-patent-trolls company
It appears that this company
buys up patents for its member
companies, gives them non-exclusive rights (and
non-revocable, I would assume) to the patent, and then at
some point
puts the
patent back out on the market for sale.
If this is true, FOSS could be
in the sights of whatever
entity purchases the patent from AST. From what I
read, the
only ones who have ongoing rights are the member companies
that
participated when AST purchased the patent.
Maybe I just misunderstood
what I read, though. So... those
that might have more info or a better
understanding, please
enlighten me...[ Reply to This | # ]

The winding down of SCO, as we await the next chapter in what will
be, no doubt, another fascinating chapter of the apparently eternal SCO
litigation saga.
It's rather infuriating that Cahn's activities
as the trustee of SCO in "chapter 11" have essentially boiled down to "spend
millions of dollars on lawyers," "take a questionable loan from an insider," and
"start liquidating the estate."
The creditors and shareholders would have
been far better served by going straight to Chapter 7. In a sane world, both
Gross and Cahn would be forced to account for their actions. [ Reply to This | # ]
