Golf Club Design Patents – Innovative Use for Sole Design

Regular readers of this blog know that I believe design patents are underutilized in the golf industry, which is not to say that I don’t still believe that utility patents are king (as that is where the real IP “teeth” are). But design patents definitely have their place in an IP portfolio. Therefore, I like to highlight innovative uses of design patents in the golf industry.

 

One such innovative golf club design patent is directed to just a portion of a golf club, specifically the sole of the club. Check out USPN D536,049 titled “Sole Design for a Golf Club Head,” which issued on January 30th to Callaway Golf.



Good work Callaway!
