As we reported earlier, a federal court is set to ban Titleist ProV1 golf balls because they infringe the patented technology of Callaway. Today, Callaway is gloating over its victory and has paid for full page ad in the Wall Street Journal that reads as follows:
“It’s no secret that the Titleist ProV1 is the most popular golf ball ever. What is not widely known is that after Titleist admitted its ProV1 golf balls infringed various Callaway patents, a jury found those patents valid, and a federal court has now ordered Titleist to stop making and selling infringing ProV1 and ProV1x golf balls after January 1, 2009.
The ad has a huge photo of Callaway’s ball eclipsing Titleist ProV1 under the title: “The #1 Ball in Golf” was built on Callaway know-how.
