ACLU, EFF file briefs supporting Mormon Stories in LDS trademark lawsuit
The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have filed amicus briefs in support of Mormon Stories podcast in its trademark infringement lawsuit with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to East Idaho News. The two civil liberties organizations raised concerns about religious freedom and free speech implications of the Church's legal claims.
The lawsuit centers on the Church's attempt to enforce trademark rights over the term "Mormon" against the independent podcast. Mormon Stories, founded by John Dehlin, covers Church news and ex-Mormon experiences.
