ALLEGATIONS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS PXG INNOVATES THE 0311 IRONS 10. PXG, founded in September of 2014 by well-known business man, philanthropist, and avid golfer Bob Parsons (“Parsons”), was born out of Parsons’ desire to make the world’s best golf equipment. Sparing no expense and with no cost or time constraints, PXG engaged in the long process of researching various alloys, exploring new technologies, and identifying unique properties that would make PXG clubs unlike anything else. That effort innovated a new technology that PXG implemented to create a revolutionary iron—one with an expanded sweet spot, having an ultra-thin club face, and an elastic polymer material injected in the hollow-bodied club head. That iron is not only better-performing, but it sounds and feels great. The golf club incorporating PXG’s technology is called the 0311 iron, and it immediately achieved meteoric success among nonprofessional golfers and PGA and LPGA Tour professionals. As PXG’s advertisements suggest: “Nobody makes golf clubs the way we do. Period.” 11. As a result of Parsons’ passion and PXG’s innovation, PXG has developed a global patent portfolio of 128 patents. PXG has also introduced a full 4 14763076.4 222769-10177 Case: 1:17-cv-06672 Document #: 2 Filed: 09/15/17 Page 5 of 28 PageID #:8 line of golf clubs that have and continue to force golfers to change the way they think about the game, and PXG has quickly become a premium international brand, with retailers and distributors around the world. 12. A depiction of PXG’s flagship product, the 0311 iron, is here: THE PXG PATENTS 13. Parsons, along with Michael Nicolette (“Nicolette”), and Bradley Schweigert (“Schweigert”) (collectively, the “Inventors”), are the inventors of a variety of golf club heads and methods of manufacture of golf club heads, many of which have resulted in issued patents. 14. One common depiction of a golf club embodiment taught in the Inventors’ patents is a club at the address position with weight portions below the midplane, for example in Figure 10: 5 14763076.4 222769-10177 Case: 1:17-cv-06672 Document #: 2 Filed: 09/15/17 Page 6 of 28 PageID #:9 15. Another depiction of a golf club embodiment taught in the Inventors’ patents is a cross-sectional view, which reveals the thin face, elastic polymer materials filling the interior cavity, and weight portion below the midplane: 16. On February 24, 2015, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) issued U.S. Patent No. 8,961,336 (the “’336 patent”), entitled “GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS” to PXG. A true and correct copy of the ’336 patent is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit A. 6 14763076.4 222769-10177 Case: 1:17-cv-06672 Document #: 2 Filed: 09/15/17 Page 7 of 28 PageID #:10 17. The ’336 patent teaches, without limitation, an iron-type golf club head comprising a hollow body portion with an interior cavity filled with an elastic polymer material, a first weight portion coupled to the hollow body at or proximate to a top-and-toe transition region, and a second weight portion coupled to the hollow body at or proximate to a sole-and-toe transition region, wherein the second weight portion is located below a horizontal midplane of the golf club head. 18. On December 1, 2015, the PTO issued U.S. Patent No. 9,199,143 (the “’143 patent”), entitled “GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS” to PXG. A true and correct copy of the ’143 patent is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit B. 19. The ’143 patent teaches, without limitation, an iron-type golf club head comprising a hollow body portion with an interior cavity filled with an elastic polymer material, a first weight portion coupled to the hollow body at or proximate to a top-and-toe transition region, and a second weight portion coupled to the hollow body at or proximate to a sole-and-toe transition region, wherein the second weight portion is located below a horizontal midplane of the golf club head, and the first weight portion has a mass less than the mass of the second weight portion. 20. On May 24, 2016, the PTO issued U.S. Patent No. 9,345,938 (the “’938 patent”), entitled “GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO 7 14763076.4 222769-10177 Case: 1:17-cv-06672 Document #: 2 Filed: 09/15/17 Page 8 of 28 PageID #:11 MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS” to PXG. A true and correct copy of the ’938 patent is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit C. 21. The ’938 patent teaches, without limitation, a golf club head comprising a hollow body portion having a face portion with a thickness of less than or equal to 1.5 millimeters, an elastic polymer material in the interior cavity configured to fill the interior cavity by injection molding, the elastic polymer being attached to the face and configured to structurally support the face portion during impact with a golf ball, and weight portions coupled to the hollow body portion located above and below the horizontal midplane of the golf club head, wherein the weight portion below the horizontal midplane is greater than the weight portion above the horizontal midplane. 22. On May 24, 2016, the PTO issued U.S.

  • An 'Xtreme' Entrepreneur
    An ‘Xtreme’ Entrepreneur Billionaire and Vietnam War veteran Bob Parsons started his first business in 1984 and has since gone on to be involved with more than a dozen companies, crediting his success to his Marine Corps training Jan 17, 2019 Bob Parsons says he owes everything he has to the Marine Corps. Parsons, who served as a rifleman with Delta Co., 1st Bn., 26th Marines, attached to 1st Marine Div., in Quang Nam Province in 1969, said as a high school senior, he was failing most subjects. Then a couple friends invited him along when they spoke to a Marine Corps recruiter. “The guy was really intriguing, and he had us at, ‘Hello,’” said Parsons, CEO and founder of Parsons Xtreme Golf, a global golf equipment company. Before joining the Corps, Parsons said, he was not a good student. He failed fifth grade and said that “due to a fluke,” he didn’t have to repeat it. “I was able to go into the sixth grade with fourth-grade skills… and then every year, I barely got by,” Parsons said. He would go on to graduate from college with honors and make a name for himself in the world of entrepreneurship. But to get there, he first had to go to Vietnam. VIETNAM MEMORIES Parsons’ service in Vietnam earned him the Combat Action Ribbon, the Purple Heart and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, which was awarded to his entire unit. Parsons, a VFW member at-large with the Department of Arizona, earned the Purple Heart after walking through a trip wire and receiving “multiple shrapnel wounds” in both legs and his left elbow.

Inc. had shown it would likely win its bid to nix the two patents over obviousness. The PTAB found in its decisions Thursday instituting inter partes review of Parsons’ two patents, both related to golf club heads, that TaylorMade had shown a “reasonable likelihood” that it could convince the board during IPR that at least one claim in each patent is too obvious in light of prior art to be patented. “We find petitioner has made a sufficient showing at this stage of the proceeding that one of ordinary skill in the art would have had reason to combine the teachings ... in the manner set forth in the petition,” the decisions both say. Parsons accused TaylorMade in September 2017 in an Arizona federal court of selling golf clubs that infringe multiple of Parsons’ patents, including the new patents before the PTAB this week — U.S. Patent Numbers 9,199,143 and 8,961,336 — which both cover a method of manufacturing the head of a golf club. That litigation is currently pending. TaylorMade asked the PTAB to review the two patents in February, claiming that all 20 claims in each patent were invalid as obvious.
