Kylie Jenner got a "Thank you, no" to her attempt to trademark the name, "Kylie"
Kylie Minogue beats Kylie Jenner in battle to trademark name
The Kardashian/Jenner clan may have infiltrated many parts of society - television, politics, apps, music, clothes and beauty - but they will not take ownership of names too. Isn't that right, Kylie Minogue?
The Australian pop queen, 48, has successfully blocked Kylie Jenner, 19 and the youngest of Kim Kardashian West's sisters, from trademarking the name "Kylie".
n 2014, The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star made an attempt to use "Kylie" as her brand, mostly made up of lip liners from her hugely successful beauty range, but Minogue was not having it.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Minogue's lawyers sent the US Patent and Trademark Office a legal letter detailing the reasons why the trademark should not be granted.
It dubbed Jenner as "
a secondary reality television personality" (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA) and Minogue as an "internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist known to the world simply as Kylie".
The US Patent Office has sided with Minogue, but Jenner is said to be planning an appeal.
