The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday denied review in
Universal Church, Inc. v. Toellner, (Docket No. 18-1159, certiorari denied 4/29/2019). In the case, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a claim that the Universal Life Church had infringed the trademark of the Universal Church. In
Universal Church, Inc. v. Toellner, (2d Cir. Nov. 2, 2018), the court held that the term "Universal Church" is generic in referring to religious counseling and evangelistic and ministerial services.
