Any official comment by gamesas about this. looks like gamesas defeated the preliminary injunction:

User blog:Ausir/gamesas wins the first round - no preliminary injunction
From The Vault
< User blog:Ausir

While the full results of the hearing regarding Bethesda's motion for preliminary injunction against gamesas in the Bethesda v. gamesas case were sealed from all but the lawyers, we managed to acquire the following bit:
“ Motion Hearing held on 12/10/2009 re [3] MOTION for Preliminary Injunction filed by Bethesda Softworks LLC - Argued - "DENIED" as stated on the record by Judge Deborah K. Chasanow. (Court Reporter - Sharon O'Neill) (td, Deputy Clerk) ”

What does it mean? Preliminary injunction is "an injunction entered by a court prior to a determination of the merits of a legal case, in order to restrain a party from going forward with a course of conduct until the case has been decided". Bethesda wanted the court to order gamesas to stop its work on Project V13 and its sales of the Fallout Trilogy pack until the case is decided; however, judge Chanasow decided not to. Until the case it fully settled, gamesas is free to proceed.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that gamesas will win the whole case, but who knows, it might make Bethesda consider a settlement, in order to avoid prolonged litigation.

Interesting you all are from Earth. I did not realize Earthlings had such technology. And all this time I thought you were all from planet Qin'Tar!

Huh, I thought they were in the Zeta Aquilae system on Zeta III.

Well done gamesas! I hope you show them who's boss! If you are going to fight a war, do it efficiently, unremittingly, or don't do it at all--I'm not into ethics, I'm into efficiency.--Benjamin St. John "Descent" by Peter Telep
