User blog comment:Blood Reaper/Bethesda loses over lawsuit against Mojang/@comment-72.209.49.57-20111029055738

Lol people are misunderstanding. Bethesda wasn't getting a trademark for the word "Scrolls" Mojang was. So that Zenimax would sue them for free publicity for their game. Note how none of Bethesda or Zenimax acted like children like Notch did. God it's getting annoying how people assume and don't do their homework. So I'll say it nice and easy with plenty of nice small words... Trademark works in a way that if some one gets a word like "scrolls" trademarked than they can sue other companies with that word in the name. Like The elder scrolls. If Mojang and Notch had gotten this word trademarked in the U.S they could have claimed Zenimax-Bethesda were infringing on their trademark and make it so that they had to stop selling said game, also if Zenimax didn't sue they could lose their own trademark. This is how Trademarking works.
