A firm representing the Australian pop star, [who blasted into the music scene in 1987](http://www.kylie.com/ "undefined"), filed a notice of opposition to Jenner’s application last week, claiming that it would “dilute her brand,” according to the _Guardian_. The firm, KDB, also describes Jenner as a “secondary reality television personality” and says she has received criticism from disability rights groups and from African-American communities. Jenner reportedly filed an application to trademark her name in May 2015 for “entertainment in the nature of providing information by means of a global computer network in the fields of entertainment, fashion and pop culture,” [according to CNN](http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/06/entertainment/kylie-kendall-jenner-trademark-feat/ "undefined"). The 18-year-old appears on E! reality series, _Keeping Up with the Kardashians_, with her famous sisters. Minogue currently owns the terms “Kylie Minogue,” “Kylie Minogue Darling” and “Lucky — the Kylie Minogue musical,” the _Guardian_ reports. \[[_Guardian_](http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/feb/29/kylie-minogue-jenner-trademark-first-name-kardashians "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4241001/kylie-minogue-kylie-jenner-trademark/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4241001/kylie-minogue-kylie-jenner-trademark/"},"headline":"Kylie Jenner Battles Kylie Minogue For Name Trademark","datePublished":"2016-02-29T12:51:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:17:04.897Z","description":"The notice of opposition calls Jenner a “secondary reality television personality”","url":"https://time.com/4241001/kylie-minogue-kylie-jenner-trademark/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c54a02341128bd6/69887f83a988caae206b6c85/kylie-jenner-celebrity-fashion-facebook.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c54a02341128bd6/69887f83a988caae206b6c85/kylie-jenner-celebrity-fashion-facebook.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Boss show, Front Row, Fall Winter 2016, New York Fashion Week, America - 17 Feb 2016","caption":"Kylie Jenner at the front row of the Boss show during New York Fashion Week, Feb. 17, 2016.","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4241001/kylie-minogue-kylie-jenner-trademark/","name":"Kylie Jenner Battles Kylie Minogue For Name Trademark"}}]}] ```
