Patent and Trademark Office is opposed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which holds trademarks with the office for the terms Mormon, Book of Mormon, Mormon Channel, Mormon Messages, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Since being on the show, she has written a book and titled it “Bad Mormon.” She also applied for a trademark on the term to cover merchandise and other goods, which has resulted in the LDS Church opposing her application, claiming it will tarnish the church’s good name.

You may have heard of a wildly popular Broadway musical, for instance.īut it appears that the Church is back to its overly aggressive IP ways. I do like to note in posts like this that the LDS Church has also occasionally been quite lenient when it comes to responding to critiques or commentary as well. The Church of Latter Day Saints has made it onto our pages before for trying to abuse intellectual property laws, typically to keep content out of the public eye that it finds undesirable.
