Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 19, 2006, the Company issued a press release that IP Australia
(the Australian Trademark Office) determined that the Company's Australian
UGH-BOOT trademark registration should be removed from the Australian register
for non-use. Deckers, which sells UGG(R) Australia luxury sheepskin footwear,
outerwear and handbags, does not anticipate a material affect on sales because
the UGH-BOOT trademark is not significant in Deckers' marketing. Deckers markets
its products worldwide using the UGG and UGG AUSTRALIA trademarks. Deckers' UGG
trademark is duly registered in the United States and more than 40 other
countries. Deckers is considering appealing the IP Australia decision. A copy of
the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by
reference herein.
The information in this item 7.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K,
including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and will not be treated as "filed"
for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This
information will not be deemed incorporated by reference into a filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless
that filing expressly refers to specific information in the Item 7.01 or to
Exhibit 99.1. The furnishing of the information in this Item 7.01 is not
intended to, and does not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is
required by Regulation FD or that the information this Report contains is
material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available.
