THE KARDASHIANS MAY BE SUED OVER TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT
A man named Michael Rey, the co-owner of a certain Chroma Makeup in Beverly Hills is mad at them and he isn't mincing his words. Their offence? The reality show stars are infringing on his trade name; Chroma. Even though the first letters of the controversial name are not the same.
According to him, it took 12 years to build his business and get an A-list clientele, he isn't going to watch the Kardashians cheapen his products, cause confusion in the marketplace and probably soil all he's laboured for. Whew!
Although he's not yet queried the Khardashians, he's fully prepared to take legal actions against them if they don't change the name. He's already writing letters to his customers that Chroma is not associated with the Khardashian's "low-budget cosmetic products".

Anyways, Ksolo's management recently issued out a warning to bloggers/ writers to always confirm their news before publishing (that's important). Here's the statement.
'We as K-Solo's Management think it's should be official and professional for all media blogs and sites to confirm informations of our client tagged name K-SOLO before publishing.
The baby deliverer has a name and not to be tagged as K-Solo's wife in any sort of claims or otherwise. If there's any news of such, pictures of K-Solo and the baby will be officially released and will be delivered rightly.
So for any further readdressing, please do not Tag K-Solo in sure news till further notice. Thanks. K-Solo's Management."
