Callaway wins court order in golf ball dispute

CARLSBAD (AP) — Callaway Golf said it has won a court order permanently halting sales of Acushnet Co.'s Titleist Pro V1 golf balls, which Callaway argued infringed on patents that it holds. Acushnet said it will appeal the ruling. Carlsbad-based Callaway said the U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Del., granted the company's request for a permanent injunction on sales of Acushnet's Titleist Pro V1 balls, effective no later than Jan. 1. At Callaway's request, professional golfers will be allowed to use the balls through the end of this year.
