Callaway settles suits over golf gear
From Times Wire Services
Callaway Golf Co. and rival TaylorMade Golf Co. said they had settled all patent litigation over golf balls and clubs.
Each firm will have certain rights to the other’s golf-club and ball technology, they said.
Carlsbad-based Callaway sued TaylorMade Golf, also based in Carlsbad, in August in federal court over patents on clubs and balls. Callaway, with $1.02 billion in sales last year, was seeking compensation for patent violations and an order permanently blocking TaylorMade, a unit of Adidas of Germany, from using certain technology.
