According to Kylie Jenner and Kylie Minogue, there's only room for one "Kylie" in the entertainment biz. Reality star/Snapchatter/whatever Jenner has filed U.S. trademark applications for the term "Kylie" in connection with both advertising and entertainment services, and Australian singer-songwriter Minogue's representatives filed "notices of opposition" to both applications this past week.
Minogue's representatives, KDB, wrote that Jenner is a "'secondary reality television personality' who has received criticism from disability rights groups and African-American communities," reports World Intellectual Property Review.
Minogue currently owns the trademarks for the terms "Kylie Minogue Darling," "Lucky--The Kylie Minogue Musical," and just plain "Kylie Minogue." Her reps claim the trademark would cause confusion and "dilute" Minogue's brand.
