Groklaw.com and the Yahoo! Finance message board for stock symbol SCOX 
(The SCO Group) are good sites for those with an interest in this case.  
Also have a look at ip-wars.net  I heard that question asked several 
times, but have never seen a canonical answer.  I think that when one 
or more parties to the suit want to drag it out, it can go just about 
forever.  

That said, two of the three discovery phases have already closed (with 
some exceptions) and dispositive motions will be allowed again in a 
month or two IIRC.
