Kylie Minogue's reps DRAG Kylie Jenner
Quote:
Kylie Jenner, the teenage model and star of reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has applied to trademark her first name in the U.S. Problem is Kylie Minogue has been performing as "Kylie" since before Jenner was born.
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.
