Item 8.01OTHER EVENTS 

                      
INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORP. FILES TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT
AND OBTAINS PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION TO PROTECT ITS BATTLE CHESS MARK
     
The Company filed a lawsuit against TopWare Interactive, Inc. to enjoin infringement of the Company's federally registered Battle Chess trademark and to recover damages.  On October 21, 2010, the United States District Court, Central District of California, determined preliminarily that TopWare's use of "Battle vs. Chess" in conjunction with a chess video game is confusingly similar to Battle Chess.  The Court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting use of "Battle vs. Chess" by TopWare, its officers, directors, affiliated companies, and those acting in concert with the foregoing.  "Battle v s. Chess" was to be co-published and distributed in the U.S. by SouthPeak Interactive Corporation.  Following the ruling, the Company will continue to protect  its intellectual property rights in the Battle Chess trademark against TopWare and others who are or may be contributing to the alleged infringement.
