Kylie Minogue has won a legal battle against Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Kylie Jenner. The fight for ownership over the name, “Kylie” began in April of 2014, when Jenner applied for a trademark. Jenner’s move sparked a fierce feud with the pop princess, Kylie Minogue, whose legal representatives sent the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office several reasons why Kylie Jenner’s trademark should not be granted, according to the Daily Mail. Last week, the Patent Office rejected Jenner’s application.

This is a major win for the singer and actress who described Jenner as “a secondary reality television personality.” The KUWTK star wanted the name for her clothing and beauty empire. Jenner has already lodged an appeal.

Kylie Minogue has technically been the most famous “Kylie” since the 1980s and is often known simply by her first name. Minogue’s letter argued that in contrast to Jenner, Minogue was an “internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian, and breast cancer activist known worldwide simply as “Kylie.'”

The legal win is great news for Minogue, 48, who confirmed she had split up from her fiance, British actor, Joshua Sasse. According to the Daily Mail, the break-up followed rumors of the 29-year-old actor cheating on Minogue with the Spanish actress, Marta Milans.

In 1978, Kylie Minogue’s career began when she was just 11-years-old. Minogue has won a British OBE award and is recognized as the highest-selling Australian artist of all time.
