Up to now, I used to think that those entities mentioned in that article are churches. Different ones.

In the light of this, the title "Mormons sue (whatever/whoever)" makes no sense. They (Mormons) are ... what they are?

As I remember, maklelan have a definition for "Mormons" --- different to "LDS church in SLC". I couldn't find it by builtin search engine.

It's all about protecting the brand.

It's not about the term Mormon.

"Blackmore registered the name, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Inc., in 2010."

I think the LDS church has a case with this one.

More power to the LDS Church on this one. They alone should have the rights to the name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Inc.
