“My lawyers made attempts to contact gaming company to work out a simple licensing deal for them to use my Redfall name,” tweeted Falconer. It’s not known exactly what game ZeniMax applied for the Redfall trademark for, but with another Elder Scrolls game in the works at ZeniMax-owned Bethesda, it’s possible that the company was planning to use Redfall in the name of that in-development game.Īccording to the author, his legal team attempted to resolve the issue before filing an official dispute, but was met with radio silence from ZeniMax at every turn. Much of the speculation is that it will be for the next Elder Scrolls game. At issue is that Falconer has a sci-fi series of novels with the Redfall title and he is claiming that the public might be confused between his books and whatever game Zenimax is planning to publish with that trademark. I could have sworn I wrote about this when the this dispute started in February, but it appears not. Zenimax, parent company of Bethesda, was in a trademark dispute with book publisher on behalf of author Jay Falconer over Zenimax’s trademark application for the term “Redfall”.
