No more bankruptcy protection?

Why do I have a feeling that due to some loophole, they are no longer in bankruptcy protection, but still not obligated to pay back any of their former debt (ie. to Novel)?

They lost the previous cases and then filed for bankruptcy protection just before Novel/IBM etc. were able to seek damages.

It was determined that Novel is the rightful owner of UNIX.

So they now have the right to appeal the former cases and go back to court, but due to bankruptcy protection they are protected from having to pay Novel?

I guess I am headed over to Groklaw to see.
