 A trademark battle between Kylie Minogue and Kylie Jenner appears to have come to an end. 
 
 Jenner, who first shot to fame in the US reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been trying to trademark the name Kylie in the US. 
 
 But she has been blocked by the veteran Australian pop star Minogue, best known for hits such as I Should Be So Lucky and Can't Get You Out Of My Head. 
 
 After a long and heated battle, the Kylies may have reached a settlement. 
 
 How did this all begin? 
 
 According to papers filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in April 2015 Jenner attempted to register the mark "KYLIE" in the US for "advertising services" and "endorsement services".

 In response, Minogue's team filed their opposition in February 2016, citing possible confusion and "damage" to Minogue's branding. 
 
 They noted Minogue was an "internationally renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist" who already owns Kylie-related trademarks in the US in several industries, as well as the website www.kylie.com. 
 
 Jenner, on the other hand, was dismissed as a "secondary reality television personality" who had drawn criticism for her "photographic exhibitionism and controversial posts" on social media.

 The case was suspended at least twice in 2016 for settlement negotiations. 
 
 So which Kylie came out on top? 
 
 On 19 January Minogue's team withdrew its opposition, which means Jenner's application could proceed. 
 
 This raises the possibility that they agreed to a settlement. 
 
 The BBC approached both sides, but Jenner's lawyers declined comment, and Minogue's team did not respond. The USPTO does not comment on individual cases.

 But meanwhile Jenner appears to have conclusively lost another battle - to trademark her full name. 
 
 In November 2015, Jenner's lawyers separately tried to trademark the name "KYLIE JENNER" for a long list of clothing and accessories. But this was rejected in July last year. 
 
 On 23 January, Jenner's team appealed against this decision.

 What is at stake in this battle? 
 
 Last year, Jenner launched a line of cosmetics called KYLIE. 
 
 According to her latest appeal, she wants to eventually have "KYLIE JENNER" branded clothing as well as loungewear, swimwear, and underwear. 
 
 Meanwhile, Minogue owns "KYLIE" and other similar trademarks in perfumes and toiletries, music and sound recordings, live entertainment, jewellery, dolls and toys, and printed matter such as magazines and books. 
 
 So far, Minogue has released fragrances, furniture and clothes with her trademarks on them.

 She also had previously said in interviews she intends to one day produce a musical featuring her greatest hits, and owns the US trademark for "Lucky: The Kylie Minogue Musical". 
 
 But it's more than that. Since the 1980s, Kylie Minogue has never had to go by any other name but Kylie, and her team has argued it's a fundamental part of the pop diva's identity. 
 
 Even with a possible settlement, what the battle shows is that at the very least brand KYLIE is not won without a fight.

 UPDATE: In a joint statement provided to The Huffington Post, representatives of both Kylie Jenner and Kylie Minogue stated that “Ms. Minogue and Ms. Jenner have resolved the matter extremely amicably,” without revealing any details of the settlement.

 Teen reality star Kylie Jenner and Australian pop idol Kylie Minogue have been locked in a dispute over Jenner’s request to trademark “Kylie” for months. Jenner’s lawyers originally filed her request with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2015, but, since she’s not the only famous Kylie out there, she faced a big hurdle. Minogue’s team filed a notice of opposition in February 2016. 
 
 Last month, however, Minogue’s team withdrew the singer’s opposition to the trademark application for “Kylie,” on Jan. 19. According to the BBC, the move means that Jenner’s application may proceed, but indicates the two sides may have reached a settlement. 
 
 The Huffington Post has reached out to representatives for both the singer and the reality star, but did not immediately receive a reply. 
 
 While the battle of the Kylies remains inconclusive, Jenner has faced one definite setback in her quest to become a walking, talking brand. 
 
 In July of last year, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected her request to claim her full name, “Kylie Jenner.” Jenner’s lawyers filed their appeal of the decision in late January. 
 
 The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star claims the trademarks would help her business, which has thus far included a hugely popular namesake cosmetics line, and cited their use in “entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a celebrity, actress and model.” 
 
 In her opposition, the “Locomotion” singer slammed Jenner personally for her request, calling her a “home-schooled” “secondary reality television personality” whose “photographic exhibitionism” has prompted criticism for its offenses against disability rights and black communities. 

 Kylie Minogue has won the legal battle with Kylie Jenner over the use of the name “Kylie.” 
 
 The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has now rejected Jenner’s claim, but she is already planning an appeal to use the brand name “Kylie” for her own fashion and beauty line. 
 
 The fight over the ownership of the first name began in April 2014, when Jenner applied for a trademark. 
 
 According to World Intellectual Property Review, Jenner was seeking protection for the name in connection with advertising services, and had also filed a trademark application in connection with entertainment services, published for opposition last February.

 The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star’s move sparked a feud with the Australian pop singer, whose legal representatives sent the patent office a notice of opposition stating several reasons why Jenner’s trademark should not be granted. 
 
 The letter claimed that Minogue is an “internationally renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist known worldwide simply as “Kylie,” while Jenner is “a secondary reality television personality.”

 Minogue, 47, has been performing as “Kylie” since way before Jenner was even born (for the record: 1997). The hashtag “#lightyears” is a lyric from Minogue’s 2000 song, Light Years. It’s also a clever reference to how much longer Minogue has “had” the name than Jenner.

– Kylie Minogue may have officially beaten Kylie Jenner. After Jenner applied to trademark her first name in April 2014, Minogue opposed the application due to the fact that she had been performing for years before Jenner was even born. (Minogue also got in some good slams on Jenner in her filing.) Now, the US Patent and Trademark Office has apparently sided with Minogue and rejected Jenner's application, Global News reports. That report has been picked up widely, but as the Huffington Post notes, it's not actually clear who's won the legal battle. The BBC says that what actually happened is that last month, Minogue's team withdrew her opposition to Jenner's trademark application, which indicates some sort of settlement was reached between the two parties. Neither side is telling the press what happened. Two things are clear: One, that Jenner did get at least one rejection from the US Patent and Trademark Office (last year it rejected her request to trademark her full name; her lawyers appealed that decision last month). And two, that Twitter is rejoicing over Kylie Minogue's apparent win, with tweets like this available in abundance: "Very happy that @kylieminogue will be forever known as Kylie and @KylieJenner will be known as a 'secondary reality television personality.'"
