Will White Club Heads Still Be Around in 5 Years?
Interesting question. In the past I have touched on the trademark wrangling of Cobra and Taylor Made in their quest to own white. The Cobra trademark application has since matured to registration on the Supplemental Register, see the registration Taylor Made trademark application remains pending. You can refresh your memory by reading the prior post here.
Interestingly, just one week before Cobra filed their trademark application they filed a design patent application that happened to issue today as USPN 
So, I wonder how many custom club makers are potentially infringing the design patent by assembling a club with a white grip, a custom white shaft, and a R11 head? Even further, ever seen a golf club with a black crown, black shaft, and black grip?
