Angelina Jolie has taken a lot of heat of late that she is not as fond of her little baby Shiloh as she is about her other three adopted kids.  Her brother has even claimed that Angelina relates better to the orphaned kids because she is an orphan as well.  Now a report says that Jolie is set to save baby Shiloh's good name - even if it means a court battle.  According to a report Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is still too young to speak a full sentence — but she’s already locked in a legal battle over her name.

Life & Style Weekly reports that it has has learned that both Shiloh, 11 months, and mom Angelina Jolie, 31, have filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to block Hors Lá Monde Corp., a jewelry-design and fragrance company, from naming its latest perfume Shiloh.

The report:  Hors Lá Monde, a one-woman outfit owned by designer Symine Salimpour, 31, applied for the trademark last June. Since then, Shiloh and Angie, through their New York City lawyer, have received two 90-day extensions to prepare a case opposing Hors Lá Monde’s use of the name.

“The notice of opposition alleges that you will be damaged by the pending trademark,” says Thomas M. Wilentz, a trademark attorney in New York City. “Angelina must feel that people applying for ‘Shiloh’ need to get her consent.”

Cue the rep™: Life & Style contacted Salimpour recently in NYC, but she refused to comment on the case. Angelina’s rep could not immediately be reached for comment.

An insider close to the designer says the perfume has been in development in France for two years — and that Salimpour did not name the perfume after Angie and Brad Pitt’s love child. “The name is completely unrelated,” the insider says. “Symine is 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.’”

The insider is one of just a few people who have smelled Shiloh, the perfume, and says it's a woody scent with a faint whiff of patchouli.
