It’s hard to feel sympathy for Zenimax over the dispute. “My lawyers made attempts to contact gaming company to work out a simple licensing deal for them to use my Redfall name,” said Falconer, in a response on Twitter to the GamesRadar article. If this is for the fantasy RPG franchise, it might even be for on-going MMO The Elder Scrolls Online.Īccording to Falconer, lawyers representing him and his publisher attempted to discuss a licensing deal with Zenimax but were met with silence. While the delay may disappoint some, it’s not like the next Elder Scrolls was due out anytime soon anyway.Īll this being said, there's no sign that this relates to The Elder Scroll IP, let alone the forthcoming sixth numbered entry. It’s very possible the next in Bethesda’s long-running series would be titled The Elder Scrolls: Redfall and ZeniMax was looking to secure the trademark as soon as possible. It is still pending with the respective US and Canadian IP bodies, USPTO and CIPO. ZeniMax applied for the Redfall trademark in September 2018 and so far it has seemingly only been successfully registered with World Intellectual Property Office. This was first reported by YouTuber SkullziTV - as spotted by GamesRadar - who suggests that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be delayed until 2021 while the case is fought. That comes from author Jay Falconer, who believes ZeniMax is infringing on the title of his Redfall series of science fiction novels.
ZeniMax has been hit with a dispute after applying to trademark the word “Redfall.”
