Blue Ivy might only be seven years old - but she’s already a ‘cultural icon’ and ‘mini style star’. While true, these aren’t descriptors we’ve come up with ourselves – rather, these are the wordsBeyoncé has used to describe her daughter in a trademark battle with a business owner of the same name.

The pop icon has been finding herself in a bit of trouble trying to trademark her Blue Ivy’s name, as wedding planner Wendy Morales claims she was using the name first. But lawyers representing the singer have now described the opposition as ‘frivolous’ and asked the US Patent and Trademark Office to dismiss it.

The court documents state: ‘The Opposition, which claims that consumers are likely to be confused between a boutique wedding event planning business and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world, is frivolous and should be refused in its entirety.’ (Iconic.)

Lawyers argue Blue Ivy, Beyonce{ =nofollow}’s eldest child with husband Jay-Z, is a 'cultural icon' who has been, 'described as a “mini style star” and has been celebrated for her “fashion moments”. Her life and activities are followed extensively by the media and the public.'

Blue Ivy is the youngest female artist in history to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, after collaborating with Beyoncé on her Lion King soundtrack album.
