Interplay will be able to continue their work on Fallout Online for now, despite their shaky financial situation and the ongoing legal case with Bethesda, since Bethesda's request for a preliminary injuction has been denied again. Here's the summary the Vault has been able to obtain:

Motion Hearing held on 8/4/2011 [114] and [115] MOTIONS for Preliminary Injunction filed by Bethesda Softworks LLC - Argued - "DENIED" for reasons stated on the record by Chief Judge Deborah K. Chasanow. (Court Reporter: Sharon O'Neill) (td, Deputy Clerk)

Bethesda claimed as motivation for their request that the license agreement didn't extent beyond the Fallout name and that Fallout Online would "undermine the plot-line of Bethesda's awardwinning Fallout 3 game" and "harm Bethesda's reputation and that of the Fallout 3 game", making the dismissal of this request not too surprising.
