Washington Post<\/a>, Jenner filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office to trademark \u201cKylie\u201d so that she can further protect (capitalize) her advertising and endorsement deals. Once Minogue caught wind of this, she hired Melbourne-based business, KDB, to file an opposition to prevent Jenner\u2019s motion, on grounds that it would cause confusion and dilute Minogue\u2019s established brand. Minogue\u2019s opposition notice contains evidence that she has been referred to simply as \u201cKylie\u201d in her professional capacity since before Jenner was born, that she owns the domain www.kylie.com, and that she has created numerous logos for her brands using the moniker \u201cKylie,\u201d without referencing her last name.<\/p>\nIn a very Kardashian-esque style, the feud has now entered the Twittersphere and has sparked fierce battles between members of Team Jenner and Team Minogue. Shortly after filing her objection with the Trademark Office, Minogue took to her various social media accounts to \u201cthrow shade\u201d and \u201cdiss\u201d Jenner by calling her a \u201csecondary reality television personality\u201d whose Instagram posts have been denounced by numerous Disability Rights and African American communities. While Jenner has yet to respond herself, this Twitter War is far from reaching its zenith, with both sides claiming the superior argument. As the Washington Post explained, \u201cthough the battle will be fought on paper in a federal building in Alexandria, Va., blood may\u00a0flow before either the teenage reality star or the 47-year-old Australian singer and entrepreneur falls.\u201d<\/p>\n
