In 2025, the Church, through its intellectual property arm, Intellectual Reserve, Inc., sent legal letters over the use of the word “Mormon” to independent creators including Mormon Stories Podcast, Radio Free Mormon, Mormon Discussions Podcast, and Mormon News Roundup.
Mormon News Roundup is now in legal proceedings with the Church over these trademark and branding issues. This is a civil trademark dispute, not a criminal matter.
It comes after the Church’s 2018 push to stop using the name “Mormon,” yet the Church still claims legal control of the word. In our view, this is an attempt to control language and chill criticism and commentary.
Defending against it costs real legal money, and that is why your support matters now.
