He retained his position as the lead designer of "Minecraft"
Mojang On 18 October, Markus Persson announced that Mojang had won the interim injunction, but that Bethesda still had the option to file an appeal. In March 2012, Mojang and Bethesda reached a settlement, in which Mojang would not trademark "Scrolls", but Bethesda would not contest Mojang's naming of "Scrolls", so long as it would not be a direct competitor against "The Elder Scrolls". During this time, Persson jokingly asked if Bethesda was willing to play a game of "Quake 3" to settle the dispute. On 20 July 2012, Uniloc filed a lawsuit against Mojang, citing the "Minecraft - Pocket Edition"
