Kylie Jenner Vs. Kylie Minogue: Singer Wins Trademark Name Legal Battle Against ‘KUWTK’ Star Amid Broken Engagement

Kylie Minogue recently made headlines when she confirmed the end of her engagement to British actor Joshua Sasse. But despite being heartbroken, Minogue emerged victorious in her legal battle with Kylie Jenner regarding the trademark on the name Kylie.

According to Metro, Minogue and Jenner were embroiled in the lawsuit when the latter and her siblings — Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner — applied to trademark the name “Kylie” in April 2014 in the U.S. Unfortunately, the legal team of the 48-year-old Australian pop star submitted a list to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which detailed the reasons why the trademark should not be awarded to the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

In the papers sent to the Patent Office, Minogue’s lawyers highlighted the fact that their client was popularly known as Kylie all over the world, noting she’s an “internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist.” Jenner, on the other hand, was described as a “secondary reality television personality.”

Jenner, 19, reportedly wanted the name for her clothing and beauty line. Unfortunately, the Patent Office rejected the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star’s application, giving Minogue the full autonomy over the name Kylie, Daily Mail reported. But Jenner’s camp was still not giving up as they wedged an appeal.

Meanwhile, Minogue’s victory came just a week after she broke up with her fiancé, Sasse. As per The Telegraph, the 34-year-old British actor was accused of cheating on Minogue as he became close to Spanish actress Marta Milans, 34.

Minogue and Sasse had been engaged since February 2016. However, the ex-couple had announced they won’t be getting married until same-sex marriage becomes legal in Australia.

In other news, Milans, the rumored third-party in the Minogue-Sasse split, was spotted having lunch with Chris Hemsworth, his wife Elsa Pataky and their three kids — India, Tristan and Sasha — in Malibu, California. Despite the speculations, the gorgeous Spanish belle, who got closer to Sasse when they filmed the TV series “No Tommorow,” in Canada in 2016, appeared unaffected, a separate Daily Mail report noted.
