BEIJING,
May 15 -- Angelina Jolie is fiercely battling to save daughter Shiloh's name
from being misused.
Jewelery-design and perfume company, Hors La Monde
Corp., is naming its most recent fragrance Shiloh, but the Tomb Raider has got
in touch with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to combat the plans.
"The notice of opposition alleges that you will be
damaged by the pending trademark. Angelina must feel that people applying for
'Shiloh' need to get her consent," said New York trademark attorney Thomas M.
Wilentz, as saying.
Hors La Monde owner, Symine Salimpour, applied for
trade marking the name last June.
Ever since, Jolie's New York lawyer has received two
90-day extensions to arrange a case opposing Hors La Monde's use of Shiloh.
"The name is completely unrelated. Symine is a
citizen of both France and Israel, but she identifies strongly with her Israeli
roots -- it's a spiritual thing for her. Shiloh is a Hebrew name that means 'his
gift,'" a source told Life and Style Weekly magazine.
"The fragrance has been in development in France for
the last two years and has a woody smell with a hint of patchouli flower," the
source added.
Representatives for both Jolie and Salimpour refused
to comment.
