Just Like Justin Timberlake, I Will Only Be Playing Callaway Golf Balls for the Next 12 Months

Well, it is long overdue…. the time has come for me to eat my words!

While reviewing my posts regarding the ProV1 litigation in an effort to refresh my memory regarding the case I stumbled upon a prediction that I made in a prior post. I gave my prediction regarding the likelihood of an injunction and stated:

I have to admit that prior to reading this “reply” my gut feeling was that there was a 10 percent chance, at best, that some form of an injunction would be granted. However, I am starting to feel that I underestimated the likelihood of an injunction. I still believe that the likelihood of an injunction is significantly less than 50 percent, but Callaway’s filings have done an excellent job of convincing me that they might actually have a shot. However, given the state of the reexamination of the patents-in-suit, I think it would be premature for the court to issue a permanent injunction. Thus, if an injunction issues I will play nothing but Callaway balls for at least one year (and I lose a lot of golf balls).   

Looks like it is time to buy stock in Callaway! Fortunately, I like their golf balls.
