The [_Keeping Up with the Kardashians_](http://www.people.com/people/tvwatch/category/0,,20419265,00.html "undefined") matriarch has just filed legal documents to trademark the word “momager” and embracing a nickname that has stuck ever since her family’s rise to fame, she confirmed to PEOPLE. If her filing is granted, she would have the right to sue anyone who uses the moniker without permission, the site explains. The nickname is an apt description for Jenner, 59, who has managed her six children for years, shrewdly building an empire and keeping the public interested in the antics of her famous family, including helping daughter [Kim Kardashian West](http://www.people.com/people/kim%5Fkardashian "undefined") to amass a reported $28 million in 2014, per [_The New York Times_](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/10/magazine/where-would-the-kardashians-be-without-kris-jenner.html "undefined"), which recently profiled the Hollywood power broker. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/kris-jenner-files-legal-documents-trademark-nickname-momager "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3897412/kris-jenner-trademark-momager/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3897412/kris-jenner-trademark-momager/"},"headline":"Kris Jenner Wants to Trademark the Word 'Momager'","datePublished":"2015-05-27T01:13:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:38:52.599Z","description":"Kris Jenner is owning her reputation as a momager – literally.
