In investigating this, I kind of had to become an armchair expert on US trademark law.
Got it.
So that's been a really fun journey for me.
So fun.
In between pitching a story about like, oh my God, this outdoor company is suing this drag queen.
What's that about?
And now I've learned a lot.
So in September 2024, Patty, the drag queen, starts a website called pattygoniamerch.com.
selling t-shirts that these are like upcycled t-shirts that are screen printed with phrases like Patagonia Hiking Club.
And this is Patagonia merch now.
Okay.
And it doesn't look like the Patagonia logo, but it still does say like Patagonia hiking.
Then separately to that, a year later, Patagonia files a trademark application.
Now, the way that it works in the US is that when you trademark something, when you file to trademark something, let's say I want to trademark this.
lucy tassel you have to specify what you'll be doing under that name so i can't say i want to trademark the name lucy tassel for any kind of product in the world yeah i have to be specifically saying like i am i want to sell jam under the name lucy tassel the reason jam came to mind is because this is actually something that megan markle ran into when she was trying to start her brand i believe they're preserves actually lucy well the
This is the thing.
I think part of her trademark got rejected because she was trying to trademark all these different things.
And the office was like, currently it seems like you only have plans in motion to sell jams and preserves.
So we can't allow you to trademark a name for tea towels.
Okay, got it.
