 The injunction remained in force, however, because Sega petitioned the appeals court to rehear the case.On January 8, 1993, with Sega's petition for a rehearing still pending, the court took the unusual step of amending its October 20, 1992 opinion and lifted the injunction preventing Accolade from developing or selling Genesis software.This was followed by a formal denial of Sega's petition for a rehearing on January 26.
