The dispute began back in April 2015 when Kylie Jenner (a member of the Kardashian family) attempted to register KYLIE in the USA for advertising and endorsement services.
Kylie Minogue opposed the application. It is rare for oppositions to be quoted in the press, but the description of Jenner as a "secondary reality television personality" has been repeated in almost every report of the dispute.

On 19 January 2017 Kylie Minogue withdrew her opposition fuelling speculation that a settlement has been reached. Given the value of the mark to both Kylies it is fair to assume that a reasonable amount of money changed hands.

Kylie Jenner has been on a trade mark filing spree.
For example, in December 2016 she applied to register KYLIE for retail store services featuring gifts, general consumer merchandise, apparel, apparel accessories, calendars, gift wrap, phone cases, pins and buttons. But she is not alone... a recent application for KYLIE BEAUTY for various hair accessories including false beards; False hair; False moustaches may give the Kylie's a common foe to unite against in the future.
