On September 24, 2010, the Company initiated a lawsuit against TopWare Interactive, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Central District of California over TopWare's infringement of the Company's Battle Chess trademark. The Company's lawsuit alleges various violations of federal trademark laws, as well as state claims for unfair competition. The Court granted a preliminary injunction against TopWare, precluding further use of Battle Chess or any confusingly similar title by TopWare, its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, affiliated companies, and anyone acting in concert with them. Interplay will continue to enforce its intellectual property rights against potential infringement.
