LEGAL RESEARCH
This page is designed to help you find information on various topics for yourself, things like courts, cases, statutes, legal articles, and law libraries. There is also a separate page of Patent Links, one for all the Contracts, another listing the Courts relevant to cases we cover in depth, like the SCO litigation, a page on DRM, and one for the GPL. We also have a page on the Comes v. Microsoft case, as well as one on Microsoft litigation generally. If you are looking for lawyers in the SCO litigation, you’ll find them here.
Sometimes the easiest way to find something is to look through the daily Archives by keyword, if you are looking for something Groklaw has covered, or using our Search application.
Please note that the legal documents filed in the various lawsuits are
located elsewhere in the various Timeline pages, such as the SCO v. IBM Timeline page. There is an older version, where you may find esoteric exhibits from the early days, a separate page called
Legal Docs
, which includes things like the BSDi court documents and Tarent v. SCO in Germany information.

Baker v. Selden, 101 U.S. 99 (Mem), 11 Otto 99, 25 L.Ed. 841 [“The copyright of a work on mathematical science cannot give to the author an exclusive right to the methods of operation which he propounds, or to the diagrams which he employs to explain them, so as to prevent an engineer from using them whenever occasion requires. The very object of publishing a book on science or the useful arts is to communicate to the world the useful knowledge which it contains. But this object would be frustrated if the knowledge could not be used without incurring the guilt of piracy of the book. And where the art it teaches cannot be used without employing the methods and diagrams used to illustrate the book, or such as are similar to them, such methods and diagrams are to be considered as necessary incidents to the art, and given therewith to the public; not given for the purpose of publication in other works explanatory of the art, but for the purpose of practical application.”]
