Jeffrey D. Brunson

Jeffrey D. Brunson is a seasoned litigator at Beard St. Clair Gaffney PA, where he has practiced since 2004, including serving as firm President from 2012-2015. While his practice primarily encompasses business and estate litigation, he also engages in intellectual property disputes, specifically patent litigation. The firm's intellectual property practice includes patents, copyrights, and trademarks, and Brunson's involvement in a recent patent case points to experience with mechanical technologies, such as firearm accessories.

In patent litigation, Mr. Brunson has been observed representing the defendant side. In the notable case Dead Air Armament, LLC d/b/a Dead Air Silencers v. Jarvis Arms LLC d/b/a Mission Silencers, he serves as counsel for Defendant/Counterclaimant Jarvis Arms LLC in a patent infringement dispute concerning firearm silencers. His work in this case includes actively employing Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) strategies, having filed a successful motion to stay district court proceedings pending an Inter Partes Review (IPR) of the asserted patent. This demonstrates his strategic engagement with PTAB processes as part of broader patent litigation. The IPR (IPR2026-00013) was initiated by Dead Air Armament, LLC against a patent held by Jarvis Arms LLC.

Mr. Brunson earned his Juris Doctor cum laude from the University of Idaho in 2004 and holds a B.S. in Finance from Brigham Young University. He is admitted to practice in Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, and North Dakota, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
