In a case of David versus Goliath, apparel giant North Face is suing a Missouri teenage college student for trademark infringement.
The young entrepreneur is selling gear that parodies the brand, called South Butt. 19-year-old Jimmy Winkelmann started selling a few t-shirts and fleeces in St. Louis pharmacies.
Now they're online and he's shipped orders to every state in the country.
