Kylie Minogue has won her legal battle against Kylie Jenner over trademarking the stars’ shared first name, according to the Daily Mail.
The outlet reports that Jenner’s 2014 application to trademark the name “Kylie” for business purposes was rejected last week by the United States’ Patent and Trademark Office.
Attorneys for the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”( Hey,I love that song 😊) singer, 48, argued that the 19-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is just “a secondary reality television personality,” therefore making her undeserving of the monopolization of “Kylie.”
Meanwhile, Minogue’s lawyers pointed out that the Australian superstar is an “internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist known worldwide simply as ‘Kylie.’”
Indeed, the Grammy winner has been simply known as “Kylie” since her self-titled debut album, featuring her famous cover of "The Locomotion," was released in 1988. According to the Daily Mail, Jenner — who oversees several business ventures, including her beauty empire, Kylie Cosmetics — has already lodged an appeal.
In February 2016, Minogue took to Twitter to seemingly throw shade at Jenner’s request to adopt the one-name moniker for herself. “Hello..... My name is KYLIE #lightyears,” Minogue wrote to her followers, quoting a lyric from her 2000 track “Light Years” from the album of the same name.
The Aussie-born musician’s victory over Jenner comes just days after she and her now-ex-fiancé Joshua Sasse called off their engagement. She confirmed their split via Instagram on Friday, February 3.
