Deckers acquired the UGG Australia trademark in 1995.
"Deckers' products have been widely accepted by the public and are enormously popular, as demonstrated by over $1 billion in annual UGG sales," Deckers wrote in its complaint to the US District Court.Mr Xenophon said Mr Oygur was "devastated and defiant" after the verdict and hoped the Australian public, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Labor Leader Bill Shorten backed the businessman's plan to appeal.
"It is not just a devastating blow for Eddie Oygur and Australia, it is a devastating blow for Australian jobs," Mr Xenophon said."It is a generic term that should have been protected by Australian governments in the past. "As disappointing as the verdict is, what has been incredibly disappointing is the Australian government has failed to stand up for Eddie by providing him the legal assistance he deserves to fight this case.
