Looking at the lawsuit it isn't K&M lawyers, probably due to the area of trademark law.
I am a little into the Inside Out YouTube channel's livestream from yesterday. About 14 minutes in one of them brought up the point that this lawsuit opens the church up for discovery. That just might be reason enough to donate to the legal defense fund, all the Mormon is a victory for Satan stuff, apostle meeting minutes, directions, memos. Perhaps the church will reconsider when they get the list of items for discovery they need to produce. Since it would be entirely relevant to defending a trademark case to use the defense that the church effectively and explicitly from the president rejected the name Mormon.

Re: LDS Church and "Mormon"
Dehlin had previously said the C&D came from K&M, so I assumed they filed the lawsuit, but apparently it was a different firm.
I stand by my comparison of K&M to Wolfram & Hart just the same.

Re: LDS Church and "Mormon"
That would make sense. I assumed so too until reading the lawyers at the top of the filing.
