    Default Bethesda owns "scrolls" but Mojang can use it this time

    Bethesda successfully trademarks a common noun

    Settlement makes sure there’s absolutely no more confusion.

    This whole law suit was a farce. Now that a settlement has been reached, it makes no difference to the fact that it is still a joke.
    Mojang can't call any of the sequels after that name. How the hell will that work?
    That's what she said.

    How can Bethesda trademark a single english word? It doesn't make any sense to me.

    I reckon a game should be called whatever the company wants it to be. So long as it is not obscene of course.
    contact me if you are in Cape Town and looking for PC Hardware at very competitive pricing. We also do web and graphic design.

    Looks like it can be done. There was some company, Edge Games, that sued a number of companies over the trademark of the word "Edge". Included was EA because of Mirror's Edge.

    You can also search the USPTO for trademarks and there are a number of trademarks for a single work. I checked both Scrolls and Edge.
