Ars Technica has word from Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson
that Mojang will indeed go to court, if necessary, to battle over
Bethesda's legal action over
the Scrolls name. "If we’re going to court, I will fight this for as
long as it takes," he said. "It’s a bogus claim, and [Bethesda has] several
one-word-named games that share a noun with other games that precede [its]
games," noting that RAGE could be viewed as a conflict with Sega's
Streets of Rage. He also wryly notes his
his recent quirky Q3A
challenge to settle this may be ill-advised, as: "If it came to a Quake III
tournament, I have a feeling we just might have to change the name," Persson
told Wired.com (as Bethesda owns the brand). "In retrospect, Quake III might
have been a poor choice."

Of course, if you own a company called iCloud (and have trademarked it), and then Apple names their cloud product iCloud, the courts will suddenly conveniently forget all about the precious trademarks, and will happily suck Steve Jobs' cock.
Trademarks only seem to protect the big guys with lots of lawyers on the payroll.
Creston Hard to remember about 'the little guy's' trademark when they didn't apply for one in the first place.
Copyright is automatic, trademark is not.
Now back to your regularly scheduled hate-the-big-corp poopfest. |
