She has the cash to take us down: Australian mother enters a David and Goliath legal battle with Kylie Jenner after the billionaire reality star issued her a cease and desist letter over a T-shirt

* Kylie Jenner has issued a cease and desist letter to a Gold Coast woman

* The woman has been selling tshirts with the phrase rise and shine for a year

* Billionaire Jenner is trying to trademark the phrase following a viral video

The worlds youngest billionaire Kylie Jenner has entered a legal battle with an Australian mother over a t-shirt she has been selling for more than a year.

The 22-year-old has issued a cease and desist letter to a Gold Coast woman over the garment which features the words rise and shine.

Jenner is now trying to cash in on the phrase after a video of her singing a song with the words to her daughter Stormi went viral earlier this month.

The Gold Coast woman, who does not want to be named, said she was shocked to receive the letter after already selling hundreds of the shirts overt the last 12 months.

I used to really like her, now Im like are you kidding me. The design wasnt about her, it was just a shirt with a different holiday feel, she told The Gold Coast Bulletin.

We still have a few left but dont plan on selling them now. I would be really p***ed if we had $4000 worth of T-shirts here but we only have about eight or so.

The womans brand, Cased Clothing, has been operating since 2017 and is part of the familys motorsport hobby.

They must have just done a blanket search on everyone who sells similar products. Unfortunately, we just dont have the money to fight something like that and she has enough cash to take us down. Its not worth it, she said.

Ms Jenner, 22, is the half-sister of Kim Kardashian and a regular on the familys reality TV shows.

Her Kylie Cosmetics brand of makeup made her the worlds youngest billionaire aged 21 being placed on the Forbes Magazine billionaires list in March 2019.

In 2017 she attempted to trademark the word Kylie but was stopped by lawyers acting for pop singer Kylie Minougue.

In the United States Jenner has attempted to trademark the rise and shine phrase but a challenge was issued this week by nutrition company Rise and Shine LLC.

Jenner is in for something of a shock. See, under Australian law, the loser has to pay the winner's legal fees. And Australia's courts don't like the sue happy bullshit Americans like doing.

One of the few remaining attractive ones because they age like milk. That's literally their entire worth as a human being, being somewhat attractive.

I for one welcome our new obscenely litigious overlords, and suggest that we all rise to the aristocracy ourselves by staking copyright claims on common turns of phrase.

I call dibs on 'no time to lose,' and am immediately filing suit against the surviving members of Monty Python over that obscure 'No Time to Lose' sketch.

If what native aussies are saying is true I hope she sues to lose easily and pay for her damages.

How fucking disconnected with society are you that you try to copyright rise and shine and then sue someone over using it.

Intellectual properties need protection.

If someone invents something that is highly profitable they should have protection from others stealing said idea.

Yup. Is Kylie going to try to sue 17th century authors that first coined the phrase?

T shirts will be available for $99.99. We the next Gucci. It'll be a limited edition shirt. And by limited I mean after 10 years we'll stop producing them then come out with a new limited edition shirt. Wow talk about marketing. Eat it up sheeps...I mean people <_<

I can't believe people support certain celebs still. If you stop supporting them they'll lose quite a bit of their wealth.

How can an American copyright be enforceable in a different country?

This whole thing is nuts. Kylie has to just be trying to see how far she can push this inane shit before people turn on her or the govt./legal system tells her no. There's no way anyone could possibly believe it's normal and okay to try to copyright such a simple and widespread phrase and then sue people over it.

No. It wont. The government has weaponry capable of killing you in your sleep from blocks away and can make it look like you died in bed. Or, if things get bad enough, they'll just napalm your house in the night with a drone.
