Lawyer up: Mojang, Bethesda heading to court over Scrolls trademark

The creators of The Elder Scrolls and Minecraft are set to duke it out before a Judge. A trademark infringement suit threatened last month by Bethesda parent company ZeniMax alleged that Mojang, the Minecraft folks, were stepping on toes with their next title Scrolls, as it apparently infringed on the Elder Scrolls name, and had the potential to cause consumer confusion.

Despite attempts to settle the dispute amicably and without legal action, it?s been decided that the case will head to court. Mojang?s Markus Persson confirmed the news this week with a brief tweet: ?The Scrolls case is going to court! Weee! :D ?

?If we?re going to court, I will fight this for as long as it takes,? Persson said when the initial threat came in from ZeniMax?s Swedish legal team.

Seems like he?s not too worried at this point. Or he realizes, like everyone else, how patently ridiculous the idea of this suit is. Maybe the court will, too.

So far no comment from Bethesda or ZeniMax.
