Item 8.01OTHER EVENTS  
 
 
On January 14, 2011, the Hon. Deborah K. Chasanow, Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland denied Bethesda Softworks LLC's Motion to Partially Dismiss Interplay's Counterclaims in a lawsuit captioned Bethesda Softworks LLC v. Interplay Entertainment Corp., Case No. 09-CV-2357(DKC).  Interplay asserts in its Counterclaims that, as part of the underlying agreements, Bethesda intended for Interplay to have the right to use the "Fallout" trademark in connection with Interplay's Fallout-branded MMOG, which must necessarily incorporate those underlying elements of the franchise that make a game "Fallout."  T hrough its Motion, Bethesda unsuccessfully argued that Interplay has only a right to use the "Fallout" trademark, but nothing else related to Fallout.  As a result of the Court's ruling, Interplay will have the opportunity to prove that its interpretation of the underlying agreements is correct and that Bethesda's subsequent refusal to permit Interplay's use of Fallout game elements constitutes a breach of contract.
