Kylie Minogue Beats Kylie Jenner in Court
What's in a name, you ask? According to Kylie Minogue and Kylie Jenner, potentially millions of dollars - and after duking it out in court for the right to trademark their shared name, one Kylie has emerged the victor.
According to People, Kylie Minogue has officially won the legal battle against Kylie Jenner after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected the latter's request to trademark her name on Monday.

As previously reported, the makeup mogul first attempted to trademark her first name back in 2014; but in February 2016, KBD - a firm representing Minogue - filed a notice of opposition to the application, stating it would cause "confusion" for the singer's fans. The notice went on to (very shadily) refer to Jenner as a "secondary reality television personality," and to state that her "controversial posts have drawn criticism from, e.g., the Disability Rights and African-American communities."
Furthermore, the notice went on to point out that Minogue already has the trademark rights to multiple variations of her name, and has owned the website Kylie.com since 1996 - before Jenner was even born.
However, People goes on to report that the younger Kylie plans to appeal the ruling, as she wants to use her name for future beauty and fashion endeavors - so the battle of the Kylies continues.
