You might want to get some comfy clothes on though because it’s going to be a long wait.

But we’ll have to wait and see whether anything comes of these settlement discussions. If these discussions are successful, there’s a good chance that we’ll soon know for sure whether Redfall is the official title for Elder Scrolls 6, and if that is the case, we might even be getting some news about the sequel to Skyrim in the not-so-distant-future. Much more than you’ve got kicking around after spending hundreds of hours in Skyrim.

ZeniMax pays a one-off sum for Book Breeze to withdraw their opposition and essentially go away.Įither way, you can bet that a ton of septims is going to be involved.

ZeniMax withdraws the application but enters into a license agreement (again involving them paying a fee) to Book Breeze.

Both parties agree to enter into a coexistence agreement which allows them both to use the Redfall name (this would almost definitely involve ZeniMax making a payment to Book Breeze).

I had a chat with our legal department here at GamesRadar, and from an understanding about how this stuff works in the UK, 'settlement discussions' will generally mean one of three things: which could mean (according to the dates in the original trademark application) we have to wait until 2021 for information about Elder Scrolls 6’s official title. If that happened each side would have to argue their own case for retaining the trademark.

“Settlement discussions” is a fancy way to say ZeniMax and are trying to get all of this cleared up without having to go through the stress of a long trademark dispute. Bethesda's Redfall trademark is making people wonder if Elder Scrolls 6 could be set during a deadly plague
