Seems silly to me, can they get away with that though?  Hope this doesn't hurt Minecraft development but I doubt it.

Discuss.

Interesting, I'd like to see how it plays how, not much that he could tell though.

They wanted to know more about the “Scrolls” trademark we were applying for, and claimed it conflicted with their existing trademark “The Elder Scrolls”. I agree that the word “Scrolls” is part of that trademark, but as a gamer, I have never ever considered that series of (very good) role playing games to be about scrolls in any way, nor was that ever the focal point of neither their marketing nor the public image.

So they'll sue whoever uses the word 'The' as well?

I don't understand that shit... There is no way that would hold up in court.. They're most likely just bluffing.

It might be a way to try to intimidate them or something, I can't see how you can trade mark one word either lol.
