The patents are likely irrelevant.  There is contention about ownership
of some of the copyrights, some of which may have been transferred from
Novell to SCO under an amendment of the contract that gave SCO licensing
rights for UNIX.  But Novell is adamant that no patents were ever
transferred and that they retain full ownership of the patents.  SCO has
mucked the water by talking of a contract breach then talking of
copyright infringement, which are different.  But SCO has never said
anything about patent infringement.
