Please comment on Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes

Per the WP:RFC and WP:FRS guidelines, I respectfully request your feedback regarding a question of law.

Should the Ugg boots trademark disputes article include example cases of counterfeit consumer goods? Is the counterfeiting of brand name goods a "trademark dispute" when the counterfeiters are taken to court? Also, an editor has claimed that the introduction of example cases of counterfeiting "dilute" the discussion about whether the word "UGG" is a generic term, and therefore ineligible for trademark protection.

Please respond to the survey here with "Support" if you believe counterfeiting is a trademark dispute when taken to court, or "Oppose" if you believe the reverse is true. Thank you. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 12:51, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Well thank you for clearing that up. But I feel as if the positive reviews are not getting enough credit...

He has every right to take a break at this point; he's received significant, and pretty rough, criticism (not the least from me), and it's by no means clear who's in the right on the issues he's being pilloried over now (though my view is opposed to his).
