PS: I'd also be very surprised if a trademark was granted on a generic dictionary word like "Scrolls."

It happens all the time: Apple computers, Windows OS, Camel cigarettes, Ivory soap, Puffin books, the video game Doom...

From wikipedia:

"An arbitrary trademark is usually a common word which is used in a meaningless context (e.g. "Apple" for computers). Such marks consist of words or images which have some dictionary meaning before being adopted as trademarks, but which are used in connection with products or services unrelated to that dictionary meaning. Arbitrary marks are also immediately eligible for registration. Salty would be an arbitrary mark if it used in connection with e.g. telephones such as in Salty Telephones, as the term "salt" has no particular connection with such products."

Scrolls would certainly count.

I don't know about that. I don't know what the legal threshold for such a thing would be, but it doesn't seem arbitrary to me.

I mean, scrolls are a major element in fantasy games, just like swords and wands and potions. If you could claim one of those words as a trademark, such that no one else could use it, I think it would do damage to the genre.
