Patagonia vs Pattie Gonia Legal Clash

Patagonia’s legal showdown with drag queen Pattie Gonia—whose real name is Wyn Wiley—has turned into a viral circus, with the outdoor giant suing over trademark confusion and demanding she ditch her name, logo, and merch. But Pattie’s pushing back, calling the demands a threat to her activism and community-building, while accusing Patagonia of delaying communication and misrepresenting their prior agreement. She’s already agreed to drop the trademark and stop using the logo, but insists selling gear is vital to her mission—and even jokes that Patagonia’s name predates both of them. The feud’s escalating as Pattie urges Patagonia to drop the case entirely, turning a corporate battle into a cultural clash over identity, activism, and branding.
