The temple claims the statue of Baphomet used in "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" is a replica of their copyrighted statue of the goat deity.
_____
Lucien Greaves, co-founder of the Satanic Temple, tweeted that the show “appropriated” the group’s copyrighted design of the statue.
“The show decided to use our own central icon, exactly as we designed it, as the central icon for their story’s evil human sacrificing Satanic cult,” he said in a follow-up tweet. He later tweeted a side-by-side comparison of the two statues.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Sounds like when two different companies we sell equipment for had an issue with design of a corn planter, close but no cigars on the design.

How many copyrighted objects of the Christian faith were used without the copyright holder's permission?
Here is one example where a church reproduced music without paying for it: https://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/20/us/church-is-guilty-in-copyright-case.html
Futhermore, the LDS Church has their very own corporation called Jump to search
Intellectual Reserve, Inc. that exists solely to hold and protect LDS intellectual property.
In fact, there is a website called Christian Copyright Solutions to help churches avoid being sued for copyright infringement. https://www.christiancopyrightsolutions.com/blog/3-ways-your-church-can-avoid-copyright-infringement/
There is also, https://www.churchlawandtax.com which helps churches avoid being sued.

Capt Gregory Prickett
SMSgt Thor Merich - the fact that others have gotten away with the theft of intellectual property is not a defense in this case. Besides, there is case after case of churches suing to protect their intellectual property, from the LDS suit over "MormonMatch.com" to a Baptist suing the Orthodox Church over the image of one of their yet-to-be canonized saints.
