New Golf CLUB Product Names; A Look at Golf CLUB Trademark Applications Filed in 2006

March 27, 2007 admin 710 Views

Readers of this blog may have realized that I love snooping around to see what golf club manufacturers are up to regarding intellectual property protection. In a prior post I discuss monitoring federal trademark applications to provide insight into what your competitors may be planning in terms of new products.

Additionally, since recent posts have discussed golf ball and club patents that issued in 2006, as well as application that published in 2006, a look at the golf club giants’ 2006 trademark filings is in order. As expected, Callaway leads the pack, followed by Karsten, Nike, Taylor Made, and Acushnet. What is your favorite product name? (I list my top 5 at the end of the post)
