That's because they're not some "small IP legal team from Utah."

SCO hired David Boies. 

The name might sound familiar since he was the head attorney for the cases

Given his history, let's hope he loses this frivilous suit, too.

Amusingly enough, IBM hired his old firm to represent them in the SCO case:
