Kylie WINS name trademark over Jenner!

She may have lost her man but devastated pop princess Kylie Minogue has one small consolation – she has hung on to something else close to her heart, her name. The singer and actress has won a legal battle with US reality TV star Kylie Jenner, a victory which will be a much needed boost for Miss Minogue, who last week confirmed she had split up from her fiance, British actor Joshua Sasse, 34.

The I Should Be So Lucky star was said to have called off their engagement because of suspicions he had become close to 34-year-old Spanish actress Marta Milans. Jenner, 19, who appears in the TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and is half-sister to Kim Kardashian, applied to trademark the name Kylie in the US in April 2014.

The move sparked a fierce feud with Ms Minogue, 48, whose legal representatives sent the US Patent and Trademark Office a long list of reasons why the trademark should not be granted. Describing Ms Jenner as ‘a secondary reality television personality’ the letter argued that, in contrast, Miss Minogue was an ‘internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist known worldwide simply as “Kylie”.’

Last week, the Patent Office rejected Ms Jenner’s application. Ms Jenner, who wants the name for her clothing and beauty empire, has already lodged an appeal.

Not a big fan of Kylie (though she is pretty well known) but Jenner was stupid to think she deserved to be the only one called Kylie

Am I the only one who finds trademarking the name 'Kylie' ridiculous? :gum:

Spoiler

'Kylie Minogue' or 'Kylie Jenner' is more understandable.

Both dumb for thinking they should be the only ones known for "Kylie" tbh. 

But if Minogue already had products and a brand with "Kylie" then it's understandable why Jenner shoudn't be granted the trademark.

Kind of reminds me of when Paris Hilton wanted to trademark the phrase "That's hot" :awkney:

Good for Kylie Minogue, Jenner can have several seats

holy scheisse

She's not trademarking it so you can't name your child Kylie 

She was trademarking it so she could name her businesses products etc "Kylie" and nobody else could

Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's okay. You just had 10 donuts today. Without frosting.
