Drag Queen Pattie Gonia Slams Patagonia's Lawsuit, Alleges $1 Million Cost
Patagonia says the performer’s trademark bid and branded merchandise could confuse consumers, while Pattie Gonia says the case could cost more than $1 million.
- On Wednesday, drag queen and climate activist Pattie Gonia announced she will fight a $1 trademark lawsuit filed by outdoor apparel giant Patagonia, escalating a dispute over her name and environmental work.
- Patagonia filed the California federal lawsuit in January to protect its brand, alleging that Gonia's name and activities could confuse consumers about her relationship with the company.
- In an open letter posted to Instagram, Gonia argued the case threatens her 8-year career, warning it could "grind me down so far that I can't continue to operate."
- Challenging Patagonia's mission to save the home planet, Gonia invoked founder Yvon Chouinard's words: "You are what you do, not what you say you are," suggesting the lawsuit contradicts company values.
- Urging CEO Ryan Gellert and the Purpose Trust to intervene, Gonia stated, "I ask you to intervene and drop this lawsuit today," seeking resolution outside of court.
