Kylie Minogue Battles Kylie Jenner For ‘Kylie’ Trademark

Published: Monday 29th Feb 2016 by David

The war is on between Pop performer Kylie Minogue and Reality TV royal Kylie Jenner.

Find out what’s going down below…

Minogue discovered that Jenner had been making moves to trademark the name ‘Kylie’ with hopes of preventing anyone else from using the name on a business front.

She wasn’t pleased. For, Minogue has ben performing under the name ‘Kylie’ since before Jenner was born in 1997.

Billboard reports:

Jenner is seeking protection for the name “Kylie” in connection with advertising services, according to World Intellectual Property Review, though Minogue’s reps last week filed a notice of opposition to the application.

KDB, an Australian-based business representing Minogue, argues that if the US Patent and Trademark Office approved Jenner’s application then it would cause confusion among consumers and dilute the pop singer’s brand.

In its opposition, KDB said Jenner was a ““secondary reality television personality” who appeared as “a supporting character” on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and who has been criticized by disability rights groups and African American communities.

How Minogue told Jenner she wasn’t going down without a fight?

The ‘Red Blooded Woman’ has owned the domain name www.kylie.com since 1996.
Kylie isn’t the only celeb Jenner has a problem with.
