You don't have to guess, Google can be your friend.

TSCOG is not 'in hock' to the lawyers, they paid an upfront amount to persue this case. That contract is still in force and so the lawyers need to keep persuing or they will themselves be in breach and will be sued for the money that they failed to recover from IBM and the rest of the world.
