Maybe they've accomplished protecting their name, because their reputation is in the toilet now.
Nobody wants to be associated even indirectly with a group that should seriously consider renaming themselves "Jealous Jackasses for Jesus."
I don't think they'd have much trouble with infringement on that moniker.
Maybe I should start an industrial design company and trademark its name as "Intelligent Design," or an innovative consulting firm for startups called "Creationism," and let the chaos ensue. Our biggest department would be Outgoing Lawsuits, and our biggest expense would be popcorn.

This is what happened to the author behind "Cockygate," according to Vox.
“You are a nasty piece of fucking work, lady,” wrote author Jenny Trout in a widely shared blog post responding to Hopkins’s trademark claims. She went on:
Nobody was ever copying you. Nobody knows who you are. The most common reaction seen on social media when your name started coming up was, “Who?” followed by “Who does she think she is?” We had to ask these things because we legitimately had no clue you existed. But boy howdy, do you exist now. See, you’re not famous, but you’re infamous. You probably thought all publicity was good publicity. That is not the case if the publicity you’re getting is just making people become more and more furious and fed up with you. I haven’t seen anyone say they planned to read your really interesting and unique books as a result of your Highlander mentality. I’ve seen a lot say the opposite.
The author who started this shit was a nasty bitch, she especially targeted non white writers and was a homophobe. I spent as much as a could to buy books written by some of her victims. Cole McCade, among them 🙂
I remember the first time a poster on a Christian site said that to me and I thought he really meant it. It didn't take me long to realize that it was a condescending insult.
Interesting – when I try to access the page the pictures flash on for a second or two and then – blank page. I have it in my memes folder, but of course you can't post pictures here can you?

Can't help but notice that none of these all-too-frequent stories are about drag performers or trans folks. Most of 'em seem to be cis/het white men... and Christians... and Republiclowns. Funny, that.
O/T "Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md." How fitting that right wing Christian MAGA zealots chose to convene in a place called "gay lord!!??" It must be a sign from Jesus himself, who by the way never married or reported any children.
How do people doing God's work "mess up" like this? God's standards and work ethic has really declined since he created the Earth in 6 days. Now he can't even get Facebook to do a simple change order right to protect his (or should I say "their?") reputation.

They should have figured out back in the heyday of ACT UP that LGBT people aren't limp-wristed pansies but angry warriors, especially when we're crossed. But then, these boys are proud, not quick on the uptake
I think the only really obvious point here is that the trademark should never have been allowed to happen in the first place. The phrase 'worship leader' is generic enough it could be used by several different faiths, mean several different things, and I don't see any reason for a trademark on it other than to claim infringement down the road. To be clear, I'm not saying that's what Authentic Media did, just that it currently appears that way. (Oh, and I still am not a lawyer.) The optics on this one aren't going to be pretty for anyone involved, but I suspect it'll all vanish under the rug eventually.
Rightwingers ALWAYS have to have something to get furious about. Communists, satanists, gays in the army, Teletubbies, drag queens, trans folks...and next year it'll be something else. As I've often said, if they couldn't find things to be outraged about, they wouldn't have any emotional lives at all.
Let them fight.
Undoubtedly there are Christian law firms that specialize in this sort of drivel. $725 an hour will get God's law on your side.
Bring out the cage ... only one leaves it alive.

I care about as much about romance authors arguing as I do about Christians. 😇
I should trademark the phrase 'God's Chosen People' and watch the fun unfold.
Ooooo, better yet, let's trademark: "Bless your heart!" What fun THAT would be!

I hear Worship Leader and I think of the maxim "Any being, deity or mortal, that desires worship is not worthy of it."
Trump required daily intelligence briefings be re-written to mention his name every few seconds or he loses interest.

Yes.

Why does "god" need a "worship leader"?
He couldn't find a starship?
Tell 'em to check under "Jefferson"....many record stores group the various iterations under the original "Jefferson Airplane" listing.
After all, he's "almighty"...which is christianese for "too feeble to do anything for himself."
Because he refuses to do it for himself?
Any being that claims omnipotence/omniscience has zero excuses.

Well, now he can be "proud" of his scars. Think that's the kind of pride he was expecting when he went there?
