There's actually 2

only 1

It would appear that Bethesda - developer of numerous popular titles, including the "Elder Scrolls" series of games - is suing Mojang for use of the word "Scrolls" in one of their upcoming projects.

UPDATE NOTE

There seems to be some (understandable) confusion in regards to where the lawsuit is coming from. To clarify, "Bethesda Softworks" (publisher and developer of game titles) and "Bethesda Game Studios" (Creators of games like Oblivion, Skyrim etc.) are not the same entity. BGS is an in-house game-making team led by Todd Howard which is one part of Bethesda Softworks, and has no direct connection to the lawsuit in progress by Bethesda Softworks. Unless further specified by the acronym "BGS", any references to Bethesda in the following article assume "Bethesda Softworks". Sorry about the confusion!

Mojang has been in development of another project (which we went over in our last installment), which bears the working name "Scrolls". Bethesda has expressed concern that players could mix up this new game with their own "Elder Scrolls" series, although the two seem to share no noticeable similarities beyond the word "scrolls".

Notch said that their office received a 15-page cease-and-desist letter, claiming that Mojang would be sued for rights to the word, along with formal requests for legal fees. He went on to say that they are attempting to establish talks with Bethesda regarding the word, to find an amicable solution for both parties. At the time of this writing, there was no available response from Bethesda.

We will continue to update this article as information becomes available.

because minecraft looks like elder scrolls

o wai....

True dat. I sometimes do get the graphics of MC confused with the Skyrim trailer..

Try reading, no offense.

What the... Suing someone for using the word "Scrolls" in a game? Who can make copyright on a word, they didn't even create themselves...

Scroll of identify
Scroll of town portal


d2 should sue them imo

Shit Why not Sue the Dictionary while there at it. The only thing i can think that they would get upset about was if they where making a game with the Title Scrolls much like how before the movie The Last Airbender was originally suppose to be named Avatar but we know wut happened there.
personally i can't see how company's can own a single word i can under stand if they owned Elder Scrolls since it's a combo but just the single word is stupid, going by this logic if some game company started making a game called Elders they would sue them too lol.

Mojang was trying to trademark the word "Scrolls" which apparently "interferes" with Bethesda's trademark of the words "The Elder Scrolls"


The Elder Scrolls was out before Diablo was.


It shouldn't matter though.
Bethesda suing Mojang shouldn't affect Minecraft because it isn't relevant at all. Minecraft is safe.
