Novell v. Vigilant Insurance 

,----[ Quote ]
| Well, this is fascinating. Here's an order 
| from Judge Ted Stewart in a dispute between 
| Novell and its insurer, Vigilant Insurance 
| Company. Novell tried to get them to pay for 
| the SCO v. Novell litigation back in 2004 
| and they refused, so Novell sued last May. 
| They were seeking to have at least some of 
| their expense to defend from SCO's attacks 
| covered by the insurer, but Judge Stewart 
| just ruled on summary judgment [PDF] that 
| slander of title isn't included in the 
| policy and SCO's initial complaint was for 
| slander of title only, so Vigilant doesn't 
| have to pay. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| You know what is sort of odd? This order was 
| signed on April 27. The jury in  SCO v. 
| Novell ruled that SCO doesn't own the 
| copyrights in dispute on March 30, 2010. Yet 
| Judge Stewart never mentions that.
