UGG Trademark is Complicated

We don't learn something new every day, but it is nice when we do.  To be honest, I had been a bit confused but the following helps a bit.  If you are curious about the brand name you may find the following to be of interest.

In 1971, Shane Steadman registered the trademark UGH-BOOT on the Australian Trade Mark Registry, and obtained an Australian registration for UGH in 1982 (yes, that is spelled with an "H"). These registrations remained valid in Australia until removed for non-use in 2006.   Steadman sold his UGH brand boots widely in Australia throughout the 1970s and 1980s.  This registration was subsequently sold to Ugg Holdings Inc. in early 1995. In August 1995, Deckers Brands purchased Ugg Holdings, and in 1999 registered Ugg Holdings trademarks, including the UGG AUSTRALIA label (with sun-like device), in Australia. However, attempts by Deckers to stop other traders using the "UGG" mark in Australia led to a decision by IP Australia that "UGG" is a generic term in Australia and New Zealand to which Deckers did not have trade mark rights. Nevertheless, Deckers holds registrations for the UGG trademark in the United States, China and over 130 other countries.

UGG Quality Matters

Are all booties made equally?  Not neccessarily.  Sure, UGG Australia has been around for a while and many other manufacturers attempt to create similar looks.  But are the other shoe manufacturers meeting the same quality standard as UGG.

Since 1978, UGG has employed the finest standards of craftsmanship in the world, utilizing a variety of premium materials that feel like nothing else. From grade-A Twinface Sheepskin to luxuriously soft UGGpure™ wool, all of our exceptionally high-quality materials are carefully selected, refined and handcrafted to deliver a truly unparalleled experience.

Terms Used at UGG Australia to describe craftsmanship of footwear:

Twinsole: Offering the versatility of interchangeable dual insoles, TWINSOLE creates convertible footwear that can be worn with either a traditional cushioned insole, or a luxurious, natural wool insole.

UGGpure™: Delivering a plush sensory experience with every wear, UGGpure™ is luxurious, natural wool woven into a durable backing that enhances the overall product experience.
