SCO v IBM was settled back in August.[1] There might be some minor suits still ambling their way through the system but SCO is long bankrupt. I think it's safe to say that the company is down for the count.

The Oracle v. Google suit was in the end about Google copying the Java APIs (via Apache Harmony).
