Can someone please explain why this is happening? All it said it she blocked Kylie Jenner from winning the trademark, not that Kylie Minogue actually won it. How someone who's not even American stop an American from seeking a trademark in her own country?

Kylie Jenner was trying to trademark "Kylie" (as far as I know) worldwide. That would mean someone like Kylie Minogue would have to PAY Kylie Jenner money to use her own name or she couldn't simply use it. She basically blocked Kylie Jenner from doing that.

Here's the document Kylie M put in:

https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91226456&pty=OPP&eno=1

 

The three counts they are putting forward are: 

 

1. Priority

2. Likelihood of Confusion

3. Dilution

 

PRIORITY

• Kylie has been in the entertainment industry since 1979, and launched her first album titled “KYLIE” in 1988. Her eponymous album went gold in the United States, her global hit single “The Locomotion” reaching number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart;
• Kylie’s 2002 hit album “Fever” also went gold in the United States, garnering her a Grammy Award for her highly successful single “Come Into My World.; 
• Opposer owns the website “www.kylie.com”. This domain was registered on August 21, 1996, and has been operational since 1998, promoting a variety of goods, services, and charitable endeavors; 
• Kylie is a breast cancer survivor, whose public health crisis and activism for increased research and public awareness has produced what has been called “The Kylie Effect,” in spurring early detection among young women worldwide."

 

----------------I.e. She's come before Jenner, and this should prioritise Minogue's brands. There's more reasons here but I couldn't be bothered to get it all.

 

LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION

• Applicant’s Mark is likely to be confused with and mistaken for Opposer’s goods and services developed and marketed under Opposer’s Marks, because Applicant’s “KYLIE” mark is confusingly similar in sight and sound to Opposer’s Marks; 
• Upon information and belief, Applicant’s target customer and consumer base for its services overlaps with the customers and consumers of Opposer’s goods and services; 
• Any defect, objection to, or fault found with Applicant’s services marketed under Applicant’s Mark, would necessarily reflect on and seriously injure the reputation that Opposer has established for its premium and famous goods and services.

 

------------I.e. They are too close peer (brands) both being in the entertainment industry.

DILUTION

• Registration of Applicant’s Mark will also injure Opposer by causing a likelihood of dilution, through blurring and tarnishment, of the distinctive quality of Opposer’s Marks

 

-----------I.e. The result will dilute and tarnish Minogue's businesses.

Yet Jenner couldn’t even have a successful reality show under her name without her sisters and her make up brand struggled to stay afloat once the influencer hype died. 
 

She’s easily the least cared about out of the family now she couldn’t even touch Kylie at her flop status in the 90’s, she still had the fame.

You can ask anyone in real word which kylie they know and they will say Jenner not the other 

[ToxicKiss92]

No one outside US knows who Jenner is. Kim is the only relevant Kardashian worldwide.

Being infamous is not the same as being famous.

 

One will secure you a trademark, the other will not.

She is such an underrated artist. Her catalogue is really impressive. Not many artists have as diverse discography as her.

Kylie™. The only Kylie that will ever matter.

Stanning someone like Kylie Kardashian would make anyone lack reading comprehension.

Good to see that justice was served for Queen Kylie™. Ms. Jenner's stans can seethe, I guess...
