Clone Club Makers Are Coming Under Fire Again… Nike Accuses Several Defendants of Infringing 15 Design Patents
Last month I reported on Callaway taking on the clones (click here to review); this week Nike filed a lawsuit taking on the clones (Illinois Northern District Court; 07-c-7108). On December 18th Nike sued King Sports, Inc. dba Turbo Power Golf, Hung Ying Chang, Krookedstix, Inc., and Gigagolf, Inc.. Thus, King Sports is now defending itself against Callaway and Nike! How would you like to be in that position?
Click HERE to read the Complaint. I encourage you to check it out because it includes lots of drawings and photographs showing the allegedly infringing products next to the design patent drawings.
The 15 design patents involved in the lawsuit include D550318, D544559, D544558, D543600, D524399, D524398, D524397, D524395, D515163, D514640, D492974, D492973, D492972, D492971, and D487492.
Could the lawsuits by Callaway and Nike be the demise of the clone golf club industry?
