SCO Delisted

Suing your customers could be a risk of getting your stock delisted:

The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") (Nasdaq: SCOX - News), a leading provider of UNIX® software technology and mobile services, today announced that it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on December 21, 2007 indicating that as a result of having filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to delist the company's securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market and will suspend trading of the securities effective at the open of business on Thursday, December 27, 2007.

This is not unexpected after SCO's recent layoffs. The trouble started much farther back, when SCO decided to sue for intellectual property infringement instead of producing a product people wanted to buy.
