UPDATE
It appears that Mojang has been asked by Bethesda - developer of the Elder Scrolls series of games, among others - to cease usage of the word "Scrolls" for an upcoming Mojang project.

Notch commented on the letter, clarifying that "[Bethesda claims] "Scrolls" infringes on their trademark and everyone will confuse it with Skyrim." Bethesda went on to say that Scrolls could be confused with similar titles they have developed, comparing their "Scrolls" series to overarching brands like Mario or Warcraft.
The mix-up stems from Mojang's up-and-coming project, "Scrolls", which is a mix of real-world collectible cards and a video board game. Similar to a chess board, this game integrates similar elements from CCG-style games (like M:tG) to keep game-play dynamic and interesting. The main focus of Scrolls will be multi-player oriented, but there will likely be a single-player option as well.
Stay tuned as we continue to provide breaking news!

Please note: Do not make stuff up. ^^; Thank you.
You too have a good point, but it should be common knowledge that "Scrolls" is not a proper noun, so Mojang may have thought it was safe to use. I of course believe Bethesda is acting out of rage and the want for money.
Bethesda is a GREAT company.
Mojang is a GREAT Company.
They WILL sort his out.
OP: "Minecraft getting sued"
Users: "AWESOME!!!"
nobutsrsly, clearly Bethesda has some Mommy issues to work out while We go ahead and play Scrolls at some point. >_>'
And also, I feel like this is already the biggest game, and it hasn't even been fully released yet. xDD
THAT's awesome.
Nuff said.
Who's next, Wizards because scrolls is a card game?
I lost all respect for Bethesda, just canceled my skyrim pre-order.
