Kylie Minogue has spoken out after she won her trademark battle against Kylie Jenner early last year.
The reality star first filed her application to trademark her name in 2014, but in early 2016 court documents revealed pop star Kylie formally opposed the application.
Following a year of legal wrangling, it was reported early last year the singer had won the trademark battle.
Speaking about her win, 49-year-old Kylie told Rolling Stone magazine this week: “I’ve never met Kylie Jenner. I’ve never met any member of the family – actually, I’ve met Kendall just in passing at a fashion event – but I honestly don’t know them.

"It’s awkward, because fans get so loyal and vocal, and we love that! But it was nothing personal at all, I’m at pains to say," she added.
“Trademark is long, it’s boring, it’s expensive, and it’s really important. I’ve been doing that for years and years. It was just causing confusion with customers. As long as it’s clear, then we can all win. What was upsetting to me was that there was – they attributed a quote to me…” Kylie told the magazine.

The quote described Kylie as a "a secondary reality television personality who appeared on the television series Keeping Up With the Kardashians as a supporting character."
“Can you imagine me saying that?!” Kylie added.

“That was just unfortunate that that is how those lawyers speak. So I genuinely hope that it’s understood: That certainly did not come from me."
Kylie, who recently released the video for her first single from her upcoming album, told the magazine that the pair never had to go to court and it's now all settled.
