Attorneys for Costco argue that since it filed first, its case should take precedence (and Acushnet’s case should be dismissed). Acushnet lawyers say the Costco case should be dismissed on a technicality. In Costco’s original filing, it named Acushnet’s parent company Acushnet Holdings Corp., but had to later amend that filing to Acushnet Company, the entity that actually is named on the patents in question. Acushnet argues, “There is no plausible basis on which Costco can allege that its decision to name Acushnet Holdings instead of Acushnet Company was an inadvertent mistake.”
