Golf Industry News - patent infringement

Lawsuit alleges a wrongful attempt by Bridgestone to limit Callaway Golf’s success as a new entrant into the golf ball business. In the same court Bridgestone claims that Callaway Golf launched its “Rule 35” golf ball earlier this year even though Callaway Golf supposedly knew the ball infringed certain patents owned by Bridgestone

Officials of Callaway Golf Ball Company have strongly denied any infringement by Callaway Golf Ball Company of golf ball patents held by Bridgestone Sports Co. Ltd. and will attack the validity of those Bridgestone patents that are cited in the suit
