My name is Eddie Oygur. I started making Ugg boots 34 years ago. In 1995 the US multi-national Deckers Brands bought the ‘Ugg’ trademark and since then they have sold billions and billions of dollars of Ugg boots around the world, and have stopped anybody else using the term ‘Ugg’ – even though it is a name that I believe belongs to Australia.

My name is Eddie Oygur. I started making Ugg boots 34 years ago. In 1995 the US multi-national Deckers Brands bought the ‘Ugg’ trademark and since then they have sold billions and billions of dollars of Ugg boots around the world, and have stopped anybody else using the term ‘Ugg’ – even though it is a name that I believe belongs to Australia.

I have put everything I own into this case because I am a proud Australian that believes Ugg belongs in Australia, not just for me to use, but for every other Ugg bootmaker to be able to sell Australian made Ugg boots to the world.  

· Getting the name Ugg back to Australia could be a multi-billion-dollar export industry for dozens of Ugg boot makers

· Create over 4,000 well paid jobs right here.  

· Tell Deckers Aussie battlers WILL NOT BE BULLIED by anyone.
