A Christian company called Authentic Media registered the phrase "Worship Leader" as a trademark with the U.S. government in 2016 — and is now sending cease and desist letters to anyone using that phrase, despite it being a common job title used by churches and people of faith, reported Relevant on Friday.

..."“The company Worship Leader is essentially reporting me for violating trademark laws because I have the term, ‘worship leader,’ in my name,” Leonard said on Instagram. “How crazy is that? This is a common term. This is a job title. It’s a term that has been used by churches, thousands of churches all over the world.”
The trademark system has sometimes been used in ways widely criticized as frivolous. Per a recent report, former President Donald Trump even toyed with the idea of trademarking the term "Rigged Election," in the immediate days after his 2020 loss."

Looks like another frivolous copyright that was granted by the less-than-diligent personnel at the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Although ... Hey, if RallyPoint submits to copyright "Social Media" and gets it slipped through the rigorous screening that apparently the USPTO has, think of the possible revenue that could be raised!
