Amelia Hobson, ABC4 ; ‘Mormon belongs to the public’: Podcaster files response in LDS Church trademark infringement lawsuit

"After being sued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for alleged trademark infringement, the ‘Mormon Stories’ Podcast has filed a response, claiming that the Church has abandoned the trademark ‘Mormon’, despite their representations to the U.S Patent and Trademark Office.

Mormon Stories is a podcast that focuses on the lived experiences of current and former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to their website. 

On Monday, Dehlin and the Mormon Stories parent organization, Open Stories Foundation, filed their response to a lawsuit filed by the Church that alleged copyright infringement on the podcast."

LDS Church goes after MormonLeaks, accuses website of ‘copyright’ violation

"The website — which has generated headlines by posting purloined papers on topics ranging from how much Mormon apostles are paid to rules for missionary phone calls home — recently circulated a PowerPoint presentation highlighting issues that could lead members away from the fold.

On Wednesday, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints threatened legal action against MormonLeaks, alleging that the site published copyright material. The PowerPoint was posted on www.docdroid.net, a YouTube-like hosting site for documents, but was removed after the church sent its letter."
