B. Scott Eidson

I'll research this attorney's background and practice before drafting the summary.

Let me dig into the specific tracked cases and his prior firm history.

B. Scott Eidson — Stinson LLP (St. Louis)

Specialty / focus. Eidson is a registered U.S. patent attorney (Reg. No. 68,702) whose practice spans patent, trademark, trade secret, and IP-adjacent contract litigation. His firm bio and the Missouri Lawyers Media 2022 IP "Power List" profile describe first-chair trial work in technologies including software, food-preparation methods, recreational products, mechanical devices, and pharmaceuticals, plus a counseling niche in the gaming industry. His prosecution-side docket (per USPTO-affiliated applicant data) skews to life sciences and university tech transfer — Roche Diagnostics/Roche Diabetes Care, Monsanto, Express Scripts, Indiana University Research & Technology Corp., and Saint Louis University. The tracked litigation matters are consistent with that mix: firearm trigger mechanics (Rare Breed Triggers/ABC IP), and consumer/retail patent and trademark matters (Squaregles v. Laltitude; S3G Technology v. Dollar Tree and v. Texas Roadhouse; True Manufacturing v. Dukers Appliance). I did not find tracked Wi-Fi/standards-essential cases for him.

Side preference. His tracked profile is predominantly plaintiff/patent-owner side — 5 of 7 appearances versus 2 defense-side (2 lead counsel, 2 of counsel, 2 counsel, 1 local counsel). That reflects two identifiable engagements: local/lead counsel work for the Rare Breed Triggers/ABC IP forced-reset-trigger plaintiffs, and representation of S3G Technology, a frequent E.D. Tex. patent plaintiff, against national retail defendants. The defendant-side work includes serving as counsel to patent owner Competitive Access Systems (an NPE) in PTAB challenges, and a defense matter appearing in the tracked list. On balance he is a patent-owner/plaintiff-side litigator who also takes defense-side representations, rather than a dedicated operating-company defender.

Firm context. He is at Stinson LLP (formerly Stinson Leonard Street), based in the firm's St. Louis office. Missouri Lawyers Media reports he previously litigated at Senniger Powers and Armstrong Teasdale. He has no in-house role; he is a firm partner, a registered patent attorney, and an adjunct professor at Washington University School of Law, where he teaches trademark litigation.

Notable cases, outcomes, and PTAB work. The most prominent tracked matter is Rare Breed Triggers, Inc./ABC IP, LLC v. Peak Tactical LLC (d/b/a Partisan Triggers) — part of a campaign in which, per Bloomberg Law, ABC IP has filed 130-plus suits since May 2025. The district court (D. Wyo.) denied the plaintiffs' TRO/PI in February 2026, and on September 15, 2026 the Federal Circuit summarily affirmed under Rule 36 (No. 2026-1527); briefing there was led by Fish & Richardson, with Eidson on the district-court team. His bio also claims first-chair, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts with fee awards and injunctions across patent, trademark, false advertising, and trade secret matters, though the tracked list does not itself identify specific verdicts. He does appear regularly in PTAB proceedings: USPTO filings list him as counsel to patent owner Competitive Access Systems in the Red Hat IPR challenges to the '801 and '156 patents (IPR2025-01371/-01373), and contemporaneous hearing transcripts place him as Stinson counsel for patent owner Cobalt Boats in the Brunswick/Sea Ray IPRs. His CLE history includes repeated presentations on AIA post-grant challenges.

Bar / education. J.D., Washington University in St. Louis (2005); M.B.A. and M.H.A., University of Missouri; admitted in Missouri and Florida (Nebraska inactive), before multiple federal district courts including E.D. Tex., and the Federal Circuit.
