The judge dismissed the case on Wednesday after the companies told the court that they had reached a settlement and agreed to drop their claims. The settlement terms were not disclosed.In a complaint filed in November 2022 in San Francisco federal court, PatagoniaGap willfully and deliberately sold fleece jackets that mimic its flap pocket and rectangular "P-6" logo without permission.
The outfitter alleged the jackets were intended to confuse shoppers into believing they were Patagonia products or that Patagonia let the retailer use its trademarks. Gap denied the claims and argued in court filings that Patagonia had waited too long to bring the lawsuit. Gap also filed a counterclaim asking a judge to rule that the design of Patagonia’s Snap-T pullover fleece is not legally protected.Reporting by Andrew Goudsward
