Overview

  • The Portland Pickles filed their suit on May 7 in U.S. District Court of Oregon, alleging unauthorized use of their name and mascot likeness on Win or Lose merchandise
  • Win or Lose is Pixar’s first original long-form streaming series and faced earlier backlash after a transgender character was removed ahead of its February 2025 debut
  • The team argued Disney sold products bearing “substantially and confusingly similar” logos through retailers including Walmart, Kohl’s and Target
  • Disney and Pixar reached the settlement less than three months after the trademark lawsuit was lodged
  • The agreement’s financial and legal details will stay under wraps until they are finalized within the next 30 days
