Notch is attempting to reason with Bethesda and they are using the court system as a hammer to intimidate rather than even respond to him respectfully. The compromise that he proposes sounds perfectly reasonable (to me anyway).

"The Elder Scrolls" shows up in a google search for "Scrolls". That's great for Bethesda, but it isn't something that would cause Notch to avoid submitting his trademark for "Scrolls". The point remains that, "The Elder Scrolls" as a game title is not reasonably confusing with a game titled "Scrolls".

Unless Bethesda can show that the word "Scrolls" is often used to refer to their game as a short form rather than the acronym TES, I don't think they are in the right at all. And if "Scrolls" is what they use to refer to their game, they should have also trademarked it as such.
