"made in Australia" trademark (Photo No. 9)
Thirty-two Ugg snow boots sales websites falsely advertised products made in Australia and were shut down on application from Australian authorities. The products sold on these sites are actually made of cow leather, not real sheepskin.
(AMCL), an Australian manufacturing company, issued digital trademark infringement notices to 32 Ugg snow boots sales sites, successfully requesting them to remove the "made in Australia" logo, according to Channel 9.
Lazzaro (Ben Lazzaro), head of manufacturing Australia, said the shutdown of the fake products sites was a huge victory. "they claim to be some brand of sheepskin snow boots," he said. They claim to be manufactured in Melbourne, and in fact they are not. These products are actually made in China, and if they are tested for quality, they will be found to be cow skins. "
The made in Australia logo was launched in 1986 and is a registered and certified trademark. Merchants must register with Manufacturing Australia Limited before using the "made in Australia" trade mark, and must meet specific standards. Manufacturing Australia Limited is a non-profit organization that manages trademarks related to Australian manufacture.
