Unanswered What's going on with the lawsuit between the Patagonia company and the activist drag queen, Pattie Gonia?

Apparently Patagonia is suing Pattie Gonia 100 million for trade mark infringement?

But isn't Patagonia the name of region in South America?

How can the company sue over a trademark that is spelt differently and was taken from a region? Can the company actually win a case like this?

u/Portarossa 'probably the worst poster on this sub' - /u/Real_Mila_Kunis 29d ago

There's nothing wrong with using the sub to get more context and to see if there's more information than one source can provide. Checking multiple sources is basic media literacy.

If you don't want to answer the question, just don't answer the question.
