Short version: The USPTO seems to believe that it is too similar to "The Elder Scrolls", and denied the trademark based on the fact that the two would both cover electronic entertainment goods-in other words, both are video games.
- nkassis 15y agoWhat about a different meaning of scroll, like making a side-scrolling game and calling it scroll.
- cube13 15y agoI'm think that usage may still be denied, depending on exactly what the application is for. Mojang's application was for basically all computer games. The application indicates that if Mojang was a bit more specific(i.e. for a computer card game), this might have passed. However, there is a stronger part mentioned in the denial, which is for clothing. Mojang also applied for a "Scrolls" trademark with regards to clothing. There is already one registered under that mark.
