“When I was named Kylie, I think I met one person older than me called Kylie. So it’s kind of unusual. I’ve spent a lifetime protecting my brand and building my brand so it was just something that had to be done.”
The ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ hitmaker pointed out the pair “came to an agreement”.
At the time, Minogue’s lawyers provided the US Patent and Trademark Office with a list of reasons why the trademark shouldn’t be granted. While Jenner was described as “a secondary reality television personality”, the singer was hailed as an “internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist known worldwide simply as Kylie”.
Cohen asked if she had to call up the reality star’s mum Kris Jenner, and while the Australian musician didn’t, she’s up for meeting the famous family. She added: “No, but I’d love to meet them.”
– Kylie Minogue, while appearing on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ this week, sharing why she had to battle Kylie Jenner for the trademark to her name. That’s ryte, hon! There is only ONE Kylie.

The only Kylie is Minogue, the other is a no talent individual I’m still trying to figure out why we as a public should even know who she is.
‘Kylie’ is an Australian Aboriginal name, unknown outside Australia until Kylie Minogue became famous. There’s no way Kylie Jenner would have had that name otherwise.
There is only one Goddess that is Kylie and it sure isn’t a Jenner
Leave it to THE KYLIE to be classy as always and rightly so! 35 years later, still standing and strong as ever, she deserves every right to owing her name and brand.
