superannuation has dug up a little trademark filing by Bethesda parent company ZeniMax. The filing is for a game called Deathmark and it has been filed. You can see the file at the link above where it says "trademark filing." It's a filing for the game, which is called Deathmark. To summarize this first paragraph, Deathmark is a game title that ZeniMax, who is the parent company of Bethesda, has trademarked.
Can you tell that I have absolutely no further information on this? A quick Google search reveals that Deathmark is either something from Magic: The Gathering or something from Star Wars. Since this game is clearly not related to either of those things because those things already have their own game developers let's try to make some other connections. This could definitely be one of id's upcoming games under ZeniMax, but then why wouldn't id trademark it? Maybe ZeniMax isn't trying to make a Fallout MMO at all (legal issues?) and this is the MMO title they've been hiring for. Either way it seems we'll be getting a new game from the growing powerhouse.

Designer#1- Quick! We need a name for our new violent video game.
Designer#2- It's got guys dying, right? How about Death-o-nator?
Designer#1- That's too complicated and vague. The modern day consumer needs to knw exactly what he or she is buying, only looking at the box. Hmmm... well we do have death, but we also have guns, and when you aim at somebody it's called "marking the target."
Designer#2- I know, Mark of Death.
Designer#1- Too long, let's drop the "of" and just call it Markdeath.
Designer#2- How about Deathmark?
Designer#1- That's retarded, goddammit! What the hell can we call it? Markingdeath? No. Deathlymarks? Nah. I got it: Deathmark.
Designer#2- Genius, why didn't I think of that?
Designer#2- Because you were dropped on the head as a baby.

It just means that you double-win.
Designer #2 is a schizo obviously.
Because they would trademark it instead. Aha. Grammar and Godwin.
