Patagonia alleged Pattie Gonia\u2019s trademark application \u201cappropriates\u201d the Patagonia brand and \u201chas already confused consumers, and will continue to confuse consumers\u201d over whether the company and the drag queen are related. According to Patagonia\u2019s complaint, the company \u201crepeatedly\u201d communicated with Pattie Gonia and reached an agreement with the performer in 2022 to not sell any Pattie Gonia-branded merchandise or to use fonts or designs that are \u201csubstantially similar\u201d to Patagonia\u2019s logos. Patagonia alleged Pattie Gonia violated the agreement by selling merchandise, and the complaint includes email correspondence between the parties in 2025, in which the company reminded the drag queen their agreement prohibits the commercialization of the Pattie Gonia name.
