Patents

The makers of the Golf Guru are the original inventors of GPS for the golf course and the Golf Guru is the ONLY handheld consumer product licensed under the pioneering 5,364,093 US Patent.

This patent covers the use of GPS for measuring distances to features on the course, has been tested in the US patent courts and the US Patent Appeals court has ruled that its claims should be broadly construed. In the world of patents, this means that the '093 patent is the mother of all patents in GPS golf.

So why should you care about patents? The first answer is innovation. The Guru Team has been innovating in GPS Golf for 17 years, and we have the patents, products and experience that comes with that 17 years in the industry.

The second reason you should care about patents is risk. The recent decision in NPT versus RIM (Research In Motion, makers of the BlackBerry) is a great example of the risks involved in being on the wrong end of a patent litigation. (RIM loses lawsuit)

While RIM was able to settle with NPT after this spectacular loss, the future of all RIM users was in doubt after the decision. Why take the risk when you can buy a Guru? It's a better solution, at a competitive price, and it is licensed under the proven and dominant patent in the GPS Golf Industry.
