Wyn Wiley, an environmentalist drag queen known as Pattie Gonia, has publicly urged the outdoor clothing brand Patagonia to withdraw a trademark infringement lawsuit it filed against him. In a social media video, Wiley expressed that the lawsuit represents a corporate attempt to silence an activist, stating, “This is not a brand conflict.” Patagonia's lawsuit claims that Wiley's branding could confuse consumers and seeks nominal damages of $1, but Wiley argues that the legal fees could exceed $1 million, threatening his activism and team’s livelihoods. He emphasized that his persona's name, Pattie Gonia, is derived from the South American region of Patagonia, a name that predates the brand by centuries. Patagonia maintains that it must protect its trademark while acknowledging its shared values with Wiley. Despite previous attempts to negotiate a resolution, the two parties have not reached an agreement, prompting Wiley to call for a peaceful resolution to the dispute.
