Betheda Softworks vs. Interplay, Preliminary Injunction Denied

We haven’t heard much about Bethesda’s lawsuit against Interplay since mid-October, but now Ausir over at The Vault brings word that Bethesda’s motion for a preliminary injunction against Interplay (in order to halt development of Project V13 and sales of the Fallout Trilogy bundle pack) has been denied.

There’s still a long ways to go on this, but the scoreboard now reads: Interplay 1, Bethesda 0.
