The battle for the Ugg boot

UGG is a brand of sheepskin boots and other footwear.Now the famous boot brand is owned by Deckers Outdoor Corp. a United States Company.But there are some disputes within Australia.

The battle for the Ugg boots is a story about cultural identity and survival in the age of globalisation. The’David and Goliath’ plot pits a small group of Australian manufacturers and their distributors, against a large US corporation that have claimed Aussie icon, the Ugg boot, as its own.

This has triggered a conflict that will set precedents for trademarks and branding worldwide.
