The Duluth gear company and its larger Seattle-based competitor are moving toward resolving their differences over an Indiana Jones promotional campaign. Lucasfilm has been dismissed as a defendant.
The legal dispute centers on a leather Frost River knapsack that Lucasfilm allegedly passed off as a Filson product.
A lawsuit filed by Frost River Trading Company in Duluth against Lucasfilm and Filson, a competing outdoor supply company, claims Lucasfilm used Frost River's Geologist Pack with the leather logo removed in the film without their permission.
Frost River says its products were stripped of logos for use onscreen, then misleadingly featured in a promotional campaign for a competing gear company.
You can buy their products locally in Duluth and online worldwide, but now Frost River has their name in conjunction with popular film distribution.
