Kylie Minogue shuts down Kylie Jenner’s attempt to trademark ‘Kylie’

Kylie Jenner, the daughter of Caitlyn Jenner, sister of the Kardashian clan, and total bombshell, is trying to trademark her first name for advertising and endorsement purposes. But the young reality show star may be forgetting about someone else with the same name, who has been known simply as Kylie for decades by adoring fans.

Yes, we are talking about Kylie Minogue. And she’s having none of it, with with the Melbourne-based business representing Minogue, KDB, filing an opposition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Feb. 22.

The notice of opposition contains numerous logos that have been used by Minogue in the decades gone by, pointing to her ownership of the domain www.kylie.com since August 1996. That’s an entire year before Kylie Jenner was born.

Part of the opposition also includes the fact that Kylie has existing trademark registrations for entertainment services, which Jenner has also filed a trademark application for, as well as for music recordings, according to the World Intellectual Property Review.

The best part of this is the shade thrown towards miss Jenner in the opposition, referring to her as a “secondary reality television personality” whose “photographic exhibitionism” on social media has drawn criticism from disability rights organizations and African American communities.
