PXG vs Taylor Made

[tony@CIC]

Just read in the Blog on the ongoing 'food fight' lawsuits between the two. While I respect the need to protect innovative products and patents, It seems that the only winners here in the end will be the lawyers.

Ping should sue PXG... just saying.

That is the way it always is the lawyers make the money in the end. I have read some of the stuff on TM versus PXG. I really do not have a dog in that fight so basically I do not care.

What does PXG have that's actually innovative? Taylormade were making foam filled irons over 20 years ago.

Talked to a friend yesterday who is a patent attorney. He said he believes PXG loses their suit, based on his reading of the case.

They lost the chance to get a temporary restraining order in court vs TM so they've decided to sue the retailers.... yes... that's right....the retailers.

 

While Friday's decision may have been a setback for PXG, it seems to be only part of the company's strategy in pursuing patent infringement against the P790 irons. Lawyers for PXG filed additional complaints on Thursday and Friday against the four largest golf retailers in the U.S. for patent infringement violations tied to their sales of P790 irons. Worldwide Golf, the parent company of golf retail brands Edwin Watts and Roger Dunn among others, was named in a suit filed by PXG in U.S. District Court in California on Thursday. On Friday, PXG filed suits against PGA Tour Superstore, Golf Galaxy and Dick's Sporting Goods in U.S. District Court in Illinois.

What a bunch of jerks....

From the stand point of the industry in which I work, where I review competitors patents somewhat frequently, I do not understand this lawsuit. Club makers have apparently been making hollow-bodied irons for a fairly long time, so that can't really be (or shouldn't be) the complaint. In my somewhat simple mind, that really only leaves the goo put in the cavity. As long as the "recipes" are slightly different and/or are processed differently, this lawsuit could be nothing more than an expensive exercise in futility. I haven't read the claims, though, so I have no idea what they are actually going after.
