Mojang can continue to use the Scrolls name thanks to winning an interim injunction against Bethesda. Although that may not end up being the final verdict, this first judgment in favor of Mojang is a positive sign for the Minecraft developer.
“We won the interim injunction! We can keep using the name ‘Scrolls,'” announced Markus Persson on Twitter.
Bethesda feels the Scrolls name is too similar to its Elder Scrolls trademark (Skyrim is pictured above) and wants it changed. This decision alone won’t stop it from getting its way; while it has the option of dropping the matter, more than likely it will attempt to either seek a settlement or appeal the ruling, a move that would have to be made in the next three weeks.
