The Kylie Minogue vs Kylie Jenner trademark battle

Jenner, who first shot to fame in the US reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been trying to trademark the name Kylie in the US.

But she has been blocked by the veteran Australian pop star Minogue, best known for hits such as I Should Be So Lucky and Can't Get You Out Of My Head.

After a long and heated battle, the Kylies may have reached a settlement.

 

How did this all begin?

Aria awards: Kylie Minogue calls for same-sex marriage in Australia

The 48-year-old singer and actor Joshua Sasse, 28, announced their engagement earlier this year.

The couple subsequently vowed to postpone their nuptials until same-sex marriage becomes legal in Australia.

Dressed in "Say I Do Down Under" T-shirts at the Arias in Sydney, the pair urged the change to come next year.

"We're here to introduce a shining light in the Australian music industry," Minogue told the audience on Wednesday night.

"But we're also here to say thank you to everyone who has supported Josh's campaign for equality."

Kylie Minogue is fighting Kylie Jenner over trademark

Jenner is trying to trademark the term 'Kylie' for advertising and entertainment services, but Minogue is taking action to ensure the reality star doesn't succeed.

According to World Intellectual Property Review,​ Minogue's representatives KDB are claiming the trademark would create confusion between the two Kylies and dilute her brand.

They also take a big old dig at the Keeping Up With The Kardashians cast member by referring to her as a "secondary reality television personality".
