“BIG EASY” KNOCKOFF
SELLERS PAY CALLAWAY GOLF;
COURT DATE SET FOR NEWPORT
GOLF AND JIMMY LIN
CARLSBAD, Calif./May 30,
2003/ -- Callaway Golf
Company (NYSE: ELY)
announced today that Shirley
Tsou and GolfCo in Brea,
California, as well as Alex
Mowry and National Golf
Liquidators of Oceanside and
Anaheim, California, have
agreed to a permanent
injunction prohibiting them
from selling “Big Easy” golf
clubs or any other golf
clubs that infringe Callaway
Golf’s intellectual property
rights. In addition, these
settling defendants will
collectively pay Callaway
Golf more than $100,000 and
will forfeit their
inventories of infringing
products. A lawsuit filed by
Callaway Golf will now
proceed to trial against the
remaining defendants,
including Jimmy Lin and
Newport Golf of Anaheim,
California.
The settlements with Tsou,
GolfCo, Mowry and National
Golf Liquidators resulted
from a May 2002
court-ordered seizure of
“Big Easy” and other
knockoff golf clubs from
Newport Golf in Anaheim,
California. The May raid
resulted in the seizure of
28,000 knockoff club heads
and other components, as
well as over 100,000 golf
club medallions, extensive
business records, and money
kept in several bank
accounts by Newport Golf and
associated entities. As a
result of the evidence
seized during the raid, the
Court entered a preliminary
injunction confirming the
seizures and preventing
Newport Golf, Jimmy Lin and
others from selling the
clubs accused of violating
Callaway Golf’s intellectual
property rights. The court
has set a trial date in
January 2004, at which time
Callaway Golf will pursue
further recoveries from Lin
and Newport Golf.
“The people that distribute
illegal copies of our golf
clubs are taking unfair
advantage of consumers, our
retail customers, our
employees and our
shareholders,” said Steve
McCracken, Senior Executive
Vice President and Chief
Legal Officer of Callaway
Golf. “We have settled this
dispute with those people
who were less involved and
who have shown a willingness
and desire to stop. On the
other hand, we intend to
pursue this case
aggressively against Mr. Lin
and his company, who we
allege to be the main
wrongdoers, seeking full
recovery at trial.”
