her family’s show Keeping Up With the Kardashians,
has applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
to trademark her first name and go by Kylie.
The problem is that Australian singer Kylie Minogue
has been performing as Kylie since before Jenner
was even born.
Minogue’s representatives have filed papers to oppose
Jenner’s application in order to stop the young star
from using the name Kylie and “diluting the pop singer’s brand”.
Minogue has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide,
has won numerous awards for her work and has owned the
domain name kylie.com since Aug. 21, 1996, which is one
year before Jenner was born. On the other hand, Jenner
is a supporting character in a reality show who can’t
quite compare to Minogue just yet.
Minogue posted a tweet to her 2.3 followers on Twitter,
which read “Hello….. My name is KYLIE #lightyears” on
February 28, thus addressing the dispute and attempting
to put Jenner back in her place.
