We rarely ever cover Novell’s involvement in the SCO case. Groklaw already does that very well. Nevertheless, the following article from ZDNet Australia seems to have spun an SCO/Novell story to make it a Microsoft/Novell story.
Novell has boosted it’s legal team with one of America’s top patent lawyers in what is building up to be a legal battle with Microsoft.
It seems like unnecessary sensationalism (watch the headline: “Novell prepares for patent battle with Microsoft?”), which follows an article from ZDNet UK. The following seems reasonable.
Referring to Acker’s appointment, blogger and legal expert Pamela Jones wrote: “That tells me that they [Novell] are seriously preparing for trial, and they are making sure their heavy guns are in place. This doesn’t mean the other lawyers on Novell’s team are now shoved aside by any means. Litigation is a team sport.”
What might Novell be cooking?
