Re: copy right
Re-copy rights/patens,
We have had a case here in New South Wales where a big yank company tried to sue our UGG boot company, they could see money in it, I think ( & it I could be wrong ) the original makers/owners did not register a copy right or paten.

Re: copy right
Hi Fred.
Twiggy Forrest has just bought out the Company which makes the Acubra and I think the Hug boots. For those in the UK and elsewhere who don't know Twiggy Forrest, he is a Multi Billionaire in the Iron our industry,who just split with his wife, gave her a $30 odd Billion settlement.

Re: copy right
Yes and good on him for keeping the Acubra in Oz hands.
It is an Oz icon.
He is also beginning one of the largest Hydrogen set ups in the southern hemisphere.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
