Uggs-N-Rugs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uggs-N-Rugs is a small business in Perth, Western Australia, manufacturing and retailing ugg boots. In 2006 Uggs-N-Rugs successfully challenged the registration of ugg/ug/ugh as a trade mark in Australia[1] and continues to challenge the trademark registration through the Australian Sheepskin Association.[2]
Uggs-N-Rugs was formed in the late 1970s by Bruce and Bronwyn McDougall, who had recently finished farming in Quindanning. Initially, the company purchased pre-made ugg boots for retail. The McDougalls deemed the quality to be substandard, so they began to manufacture the boots themselves.[3]
