LOS ANGELES—Fashion label Marc Jacobs, artist Robert Fisher and Nirvana’s company have resolved a Los Angeles lawsuit over the use of a smiley face design the grunge-rock band placed on its T-shirts, according to court papers obtained Wednesday.

In December 2018, the general partnership controlling Nirvana’s copyrights sued the design label for allegedly lifting the logo for the brand’s Bootleg Redux Grunge collection. Fisher later filed a motion to claim authorship of the design.
