Australian pop-star Kylie Minogue has opposed reality TV star Kylie Jenner’s US trademark application for the term ‘Kylie’.

The reality TV star is seeking protection for the term in connection with advertising services. The application was published for opposition in August last year.

KDB, an Australian-based business representing Minogue, filed a notice of opposition to the application on Monday, February 22.

KDB claimed that if the US Patent and Trademark Office approved Jenner’s application then it would cause confusion among consumers between the two Kylies and dilute her brand.

The company also cited existing trademark registrations for the term ‘Kylie’ that cover entertainment services and music recordings.

Minogue also owns trademarks for the terms ‘Kylie Minogue darling’, ‘Lucky – the Kylie Minogue musical’ and ‘Kylie Minogue’.

In the opposition, KDB said Jenner is a “secondary reality television personality” who has received criticism from disability rights groups and African-American communities.

If the mark is approved, the association between Kylie Jenner and Kylie Minogue would result in dilution of her brand.

The story may not end here. Jenner has also filed a trademark application for the term ‘Kylie’ in connection with entertainment services. That application was published for opposition on Tuesday, February 23.

Oop

Not them serving receipts and shade too.

Gather them Kylie. Let them know.

In the US it sure won't. Maybe in other countries, but Minogue isn't more famous than Jenner in the US.

slé

Wow not there being actual drags in the business operations

who does the jenner girl think she is though, she's a 2015 fad and nothing more, unlike the legend Kylie Minogue who's been relevant for 30 years

this. it's actually embarrassing.

Minogue is a true queen - slay!

Kylie Minogue is synonymous with the name Kylie. She should own the rights.

I SCREAMED @ secondary. Drags in real life always look so ridiculous

Nobody knows her though

Kylie Minogue has been 'Kylie' since her self-titled 'Kylie' album almost a decade before Jenner was born.

They better DRAG.
Queen Minogue is the only Kylie that matters!

Kylie Jenner is one of the most famous teens in thr world. And part of one of the biggest/most well known families in decades. She's certainly more than "just a 2015 fad"

go awfff

Yes Ms. Minogue is the one and only 'Kylie'

That's nice. But alot of people, especially nowadays, don't know that.
