Court and Church Battles Over Word Trademark Ads
In a Gaylord Entertainment Co versus Thomas Nelson Inc dispute, Nelson changes its Word imprint to W Publishing prompting accusations of breach of contract and false advertising over humorous ads using Word branding. Oregon Catholics demand removal of a billboard claiming The Pope is the Antichrist, denounced by the Catholic Sentinel. Outdoor Media Dimensions denies endorsement while ACLU Oregon urges public counter-speech.

Judge imposes limits on Scientology protests in Clearwater
Circuit Judge Thomas Penick ordered both sides to give an hour’s notice to police before picket activity and set a ten foot separation to stop noise and clashes. The ruling extends a no-picket zone near the Scientology cafeteria and Trust HQ as authorities seek to curb incidents surrounding the Lisa McPherson case.
