  Gillette wins legal fight with Schick - The Boston Globe
Gillette Co. won an important legal skirmish yesterday when a federal appeals court gave it another chance to block rival Schick from selling a four-blade razor that the Boston shaving giant claims infringes on its patent for the popular Mach3 razor.
Gillette is the world's leading razor and blade company, commanding about 71 percent of total sales worldwide in 2004, and the business accounted for 63 percent of the firm's operating profit last year, according to Gillette's most recent annual report.
Gillette said the unique aspect to its technology is the ''progressive" alignment of the blades, which reduces drag and provides a closer shave.

NEW YORK — Gillette (G) announced Thursday its strategy to go after a bigger cut of the women's shaving market this spring, including two new products in its successful Venus line and — in an unusual move in personal care products — equality with similar men's products in price.
Gillette is counting on the promise of a closer shave and the vibrant pink design to help its Venus franchise reclaim its spot as the top women's brand in the $200 million razor business.
In addition to the new high-tech model, however, Gillette is not ignoring the lowly disposable razor — used by 54% of women in North America.

Gillette also said that profit growth in the rest of the year would be slower than it had previously forecast.
In an article I wrote last year on the debut of Gillette's new three-bladed razor, the Mach3, I argued that Gillette was uniquely positioned to remain on top, because its razors were the best and most popular razors in the world (a combination I don't think is true of any other product).
Gillette has extended its domination of the razor market worldwide, and now owns 73 percent of that market, which far from being stagnant is growing at 11 percent a year.
