Gillette Co. won another chance to try to force the Schick Quattro razor off U.S. market shelves and eliminate a competitor to its best-selling Mach3 product line. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit determined that Boston-based Gillette (NYSE: G) must get a new hearing in its bid for a court order to bar sales of the Quattro while it pursues a patent-infringement lawsuit against Schick, Bloomberg Business News reported. The court said Gillette might be entitled to such an order unless Schick can show the patent is invalid. The companies have been battling over razors since Schick, a unit of Energizer Holdings Inc., introduced the four-bladed Quattro in 2003 to compete with the three-bladed Mach3.
