Navajo Nation, Urban Outfitters Reach Settlement

The Navajo Nation and Urban Outfitters Inc. have reached a settlement in the tribe's 2012 trademark infringement lawsuit against the clothing retailer.

The Farmington Daily Times  reports that terms of the settlement signed Monday by a federal judge are confidential. However, the tribe said it and Urban Outfitters plan to collaborate on American Indian jewelry.

Urban Outfitters claimed during the litigation that the tribe knew or should have known the "Navajo" name had been used in clothing, jewelry and other merchandise for years and delayed legal action.

Court documents didn't quantify the amount the tribe could recover if it won the lawsuit, but a ruling in the case said a federal law allowed a minimum $1,000 a day for each type of good sold or on display for sale.
