Perfectly legal in the United States of Bigotry.
It's not a generic term there like it is here so they can trademark it.
They'll have little luck in Oz because it is a generic term. The Australian company they bought never trademarked it when they started but when
it became a US company they trademarked it there.

apparently the macquarie (sp?) dictioary has listed 'ugg' since the early 80's or somethin, this american company made it a trademark
in the early 90's and then tried to sue macquarie dictionary!!!! the dictionary changed the definition to suit the americans i beleive....
i just heard a report on the news a few days ago, i don't know much about the subject, but it seems pretty damn wrong to me!
bloody americans (gotta love sweeping generalisations  )

We can just call them Uggh

It suprises me that the footwear company Deckers, operating under the logo Ugg Holdings Inc, can copyright a design that has been used for thousands
of years.
It seems to me that Deckers are trying to convince the world that they invented it.
Also the Pontiac GTO is around $20,000 AU cheaper in the US than it is here.

Hang - on, has anyone actually worn Ugg boots (outside of tassie, of course,) in the last quartercentury?
P.S. They can keep the Fosters, I thought it was a practical joke we pulled on them anyway - That Hoges was always a funny guy!

There are basically two forms of footwear i wear ... the double pluggers ... suitable for any hot weather environment ...
and my uggies ... I have two sets ... long pair ... and the shorter pair ... I have worn the longer pair a few times to clubs and pubs ... look
good underneath the jeans ... good talking point for the ladies
... I spose it helps being a uni student and not having a 9-5 job

Perhaps it is not moral to some to copywrite the name ugg but if it is legal then I guess they will get it, but all you have to do when buying some
ugg boots is to buy 100% owned and made in Aus OH and you may want to check they actually used local materials as well.

Ugg..............Just add an F to front...Fugg Boots?
Like to see them try to copyright "A pair of feet up sheeps bum boots"?
Lack of creativity I say.....
ooh and for the vegans amongst us..."A pair of feet up , non toxic environmentally friendly simulated sheep constucted from hemp fibre and
recycled cardboard soles"?
