Bethesda Clarifies Mojang Suit

As The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s launch approaches, Bethesda’s parent company, Zenimax, is pursuing a lawsuit with Mojang over trademark infringement.  Mojang’s upcoming game is entitled Scrolls and Zenimax feels the use of the word infringes upon their trademark for The Elder Scrolls.

Pete Hines, vice president at Bethesda said, “This is a business matter based on how trademark law works and it will continue to be dealt with by lawyers who understand it, not by me or our developers,”  He went on to say, “Nobody here enjoys being forced into this.  Hopefully it will all be resolved soon.”
