When SCO went for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it was thought that SCO was doing it in part to avoid losing its cash reserves and more to Novell in the next stage of the Novell/SCO lawsuit. Now, <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2192807,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594">Novell is pursuing SCO from the IP (intellectual property) courts</A> to the bankruptcy courts.

SCO filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Sept. 14. This came after SCO had been slammed by one defeat after another in its anti-Linux lawsuits. Most recently, the U.S. District Court ruled that Novell, not SCO, owned Unix's intellectual property. This cracked the foundation to many of SCO's other lawsuits.
