Australian singer, songwriter, and actress Kylie Minogue has cause for celebration after beating Kylie Jenner in a legal battle over the trademark of the name Kylie. Kylie Jenner (and her sister Kendall) submitted U.S. trademark applications for their respective first names back in 2015. KBD argued that Minogue already owns trademark registrations for “Kylie Minogue Darling,” “Lucky – the Kylie Minogue musical,” and her full name, “Kylie Minogue.” She has also owned kylie.com since 1996. Kylie Jenner has already filed an appeal to the USPTO’s rejection of her application but, given Kylie Minogue’s longstanding history with the name, a new ruling seems unlikely. Jenner will undoubtedly have a hard time staking her claim as the first famous Kylie as she pursues an appeal.
