UGG Boots
The usage of the words 'UGG' and 'UGH' in relation to sheepskin
boots by Australian manufacturers came to the attention of IP Australia
through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and media reports.
The issue has provoked considerable media attention as manufacturers of
sheepskin boots expressed their concern over action taken by the owner
of trade marks containing UGH and UGG.
There was discussion over whether these words can function as trade
marks or are really generic terms
The issue first attracted media attention when American-based company,
UGG Holdings Inc (a subsidiary of Deckers Outdoor Corporation),
apparently threatened to litigate against Australian exporters and
United States importers of sheepskin boots may have been using the terms
UGG and UGH in trade marks,
as descriptions of their goods or in relation to Internet activities.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation owned registered trade marks in Australia
for the words
UGH-BOOTS and UGH, and for a logo featuring the words UGG, AUSTRALIA
and a stylised picture of the SUN (the UGG logo). They are also the
owner of trade marks in the United States.
When were Deckers’ trade marks registered?
