Kim announced “SKKN By Kim” on June 1, with sales starting June 21.

[{"selector":"#anim-f9ec49a6-9729-4dd0-b651-021d570b4d01","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a694be2-0609-4d52-9162-21c9dc953f27","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fd46e578-7d8e-4e27-abdf-3492d78506f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, now Kim has been sued for trademark infringement by a small business.

[{"selector":"#anim-4cdf948e-6d21-46d7-a9ef-b3f38b92bb53","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e586078-a939-457c-a80b-5487fef51c18","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18be2459-d3c6-4ea7-bf6b-a065c0cd101f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Brooklyn-based business, Beauty Concepts claims it has rights already to “SKKN+”

[{"selector":"#anim-e719bff9-0414-4f59-873b-617f96e4242d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd26e3cd-b669-4ada-ace9-36bd71a4dadb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-daa1ac6a-888d-4f54-8f82-1a04e4909bf2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Black-owned esthetician studio initially reached out to Kim last year after she trademarked the name.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8ff25d6-5dcf-49ea-8ec1-a8fd9cdef22c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a1c0c4c4-1121-436c-8bc9-a50a93d4a49b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6b4759b-abad-4b42-a6e7-228bbcfe6b86","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But the “KUWTK” alum reportedly ignored their warning and proceeded to release her line.

[{"selector":"#anim-2b734285-8da8-454b-81b3-6447893af5a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6981bdd9-3560-43d1-bd1b-566794a61639","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ba56e1b-68ae-4149-8d75-8d7250a512ca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kim’s lawyer, Michael Rhodes is, however, countering the lawsuit.

[{"selector":"#anim-b8388e74-f74c-4dba-adf8-259542feb7f5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c1cd7de6-4268-4158-9349-5c4e702250a0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e90c22c-a1b6-42c6-af19-cb9b93e12a7b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Rhodes describes the lawsuit as a “current shakedown effort.”

He insists that Kim’s brand doesn’t breach the trademark rules.
