Minogue took to Twitter, seemingly to take a dig at the 18-year-old Jenner. She tweeted “Hello... My name is Kylie #lightyears,” quoting a lyric of her 2000 hit track Light Years from the album of the same name. According to reports, the Get Outta My Way singer wanted to convey that she had far greater experience than Jenner.
Last year, Jenner filed a US trademark application to protect her first name in connection with advertising services. In February, an Australia-based company representing Minogue, filed a notice of opposition to Jenner’s application, in order to prevent her from claiming ownership of the name. They also noted that if the request is approved, it will “cause confusion” for Minogue’s fans.
Sneaking in to celebrity closets
In the court documents, the company pointed out that Jenner’s trademark bid is undeserved since she is only a “secondary reality television personality” who appears on Keeping Up with the Kardashians as a “supporting character” to the Kardashian sisters. Additionally, the firm stated that Minogue has owned the domain name, Kylie.com, since August 21, 1996 – an entire year before Jenner was even born.
