BUSINESS BRIEFING / GOLF
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
Callaway Golf Co., the maker of Big Bertha and Steelhead golf clubs, traded lawsuits with Fortune Brands Inc.’s Acushnet Co. over its redesigned Titleist Pro V1 golf balls.
Acushnet’s new versions of Pro V1 golf balls, modified after a previous infringement suit by Callaway, infringed two other patents, according to a complaint filed Monday in Wilmington, Del.
Acushnet countersued, claiming Callaway’s patents are invalid and that the Carlsbad, Calif., company infringed nine of its patents.
