The unfortunate side effect is that Scrolls (the parchment containing objects) are a deprecated technology. The only time We get to use them anymore is in a fantasy setting.
I really don't understand how they can reasonably expect to own the trademark on a word that is only a portion of their actual product line and describes an object that has been known to exist for thousands of years. Microsoft was denied the trademark for "Windows", but they were given trademarks for the phrases "Windows XP Operating System", etc.
- cube13 15y agoThe trademark doesn't prevent you from having in-game objects called "Scrolls". I can only(if Bathesda wins the suit, which I think is unlikely) prevent you from creating a fantasy video game called "Scrolls". Also, MS does have a registered trademark for "Windows"(http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/IntellectualProperty/Trademarks/EN-US.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/IntellectualPrope...), but this is only for computer operating systems, not for physical building windows.
