Fortress Fallout Forced Name Change by Zenimax

The free iOS and Android game, Fortress Fallout, produced by Jordan Maron, also known as CaptainSparklez received a infringement complaint by Zenimax for featuring the word "Fallout"

Popular YouYuber, Jordan Maron has been working on a free-to-play game for iOS and Android called Fortress Fallout, however due to Zenimax owning Bethesda, of which hold the trademark to the Fallout franchise, they saw fit to send Maron a cease-and-desist letter ordering him to change the name of his game or legal action will be taken.

Maron then released a video on YouTube regarding the situation and said: 

Our lawyers said, yeah, Bethesda is a notoriously litigious company, meaning they do not hesitate to file a lawsuit against people who they feel are infringing on their trademark, And obviously they have lots of money and resources at their disposal, which I and my partner don't really have at the moment.

 

So, essentially, we're being strong-armed into having to change our name, which is unfortunate because I personally don't feel there is any confusion between Fortress Fallout and the Fallout video game franchise. I don't believe people would see Fortress Fallout on the App Store and say, heh, it must be a sequel to the Fallout series. But I guess Bethesda feels it could be interpreted that way.

Zenimax also had a previous situation regarding Mojang and their card game, Scrolls, of which the two organisations came to an agreement in course and Mojang continued usage of the original name tag.
