When Warren Miller the man appeared in a new ski movie called Refresh from Level 1 Productions, someone at Warren Miller Entertainment didn’t like it, according to a story in the Aspen Daily News.
Last week, Warren Miller Entertainment, a Delaware corporation that is a division of Bonnier Corporation, filed the lawsuit claiming trademark infringement as it owns the rights to the name “Warren Miller,” “Warren Miller Entertainment” and other terms associated with Miller.
For his part Warren, who says his non-compete expired in 1999, says the trademarks that Warren Miller Entertainment owns “do not prevent him from ‘using his fame and status to identify himself and to participate in Level 1’s Refresh ski film.’
It gets much messier and funnier, but we’re guessing this lawsuit is the best thing that could ever happened to Refresh.

isn’t this the best thing that happened to warren miller-publicity-does anyone even go to his stupid-ass films? they should be thankful, if anything.
JAF.. you are an idiot.. WME and warren miller no longer have ties.. so its not “his” movies.. its Bonnier Corp’s movies using the Warren Miller name.. L1P’s Refresh did nothing wrong and the lawsuit has since been put on hold and Warren is now contersuing WME.
