Japan sending patent officials to U.S. over Kim Kardashian "Kimono" flapTOKYO - Japan is to send patent officials to the United States to discuss the flap over Kim Kardashian’s Kimono brand underwear, the trade minister said on Tuesday.
Trade Minister Hiroshige Seko said he was aware of Kardashian’s decision but still wanted there to be “a careful examination” of the matter. Kardashian said that she had announced the Kimono products in June “with the best intentions in mind” and that she appreciated the feedback she had received. “Kimono is not underwear! Stop trademark registration! Don’t make the word kimono yours!” Twitter user Ruu wrote shortly after the launch announcement, echoing a common theme.
