Can you imagine the ego stroking it must be to have an entire genre named after your work?
They probably could have had a case against the first game to market itself as such, but I think once the terminology gets utilized as a "common term", you can't do anything. It's why Nintendo in the 80s and 90s was so fucking adamant on pushing parents away from calling any and every home game console a Nintendo
Fromsoft would have 0 ground if they wanted to today, but honestly, again, I think it's one of those things thats such a pedestal that there would be no reason to go after it.
Imagine what the developers of Rogue must feel. Games in that vein are still called Rogue-likes 43 years later
