Kellie Nelson Fetter

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Let me try alternate search formulations.

Now let me verify her firm bio and the specific cases.

Kellie Nelson Fetter — Taft Stettinius & Hollister (Denver)

Focus areas. Fetter is a commercial litigator rather than a specialist patent prosecutor; her Taft bio lists intellectual property within a broader practice that also covers insurance recovery, e-discovery, international arbitration and general business disputes, with industry concentrations in healthcare, oil and gas, and aerospace. Her tracked patent litigation work is entirely mechanical/consumer-product patent enforcement: the forced-reset trigger (FRT) and semiautomatic firearm trigger technology owned by ABC IP, LLC and Rare Breed Triggers, Inc. (asserted patents include U.S. Patent Nos. 10,514,223; 11,724,003; 12,036,336; 12,274,807; 12,031,784; and 12,038,247). There is no visible Wi-Fi/standards, pharmaceutical, or electronics/software patent docket in her record; her other IP-tracked matters skew to trademark and Lanham Act work (e.g., the Acton Academy trademark filings and her bio's reference to obtaining injunctive relief for a patent holder in federal trademark and trade practices litigation).

Side preference. All three tracked appearances are plaintiff-side, and her identifiable patent client is a practicing manufacturer/patent owner (Rare Breed) plus its licensing affiliate (ABC IP) running an enforcement campaign against accused copyists — not a classic NPE/PAE model. She has served as lead counsel (In re: Rare Breed Triggers Patent Litigation), as case attorney (ABC IP, LLC et al. v. Christopher Cope), and as local counsel (Rare Breed Triggers Inc. et al. v. Superior Firearms of Texas). There is no tracked defense-side patent work, so a "both sides" characterization is not supported by the data.

Firm context. She is in Taft Stettinius & Hollister's Denver office and is admitted in Colorado and Wyoming and before the federal district courts of both states, which fits her use as Wyoming-qualified local counsel and filing counsel in the District of Wyoming FRT cases. Before Taft she practiced at Sherman & Howard in Denver (a 2012 affidavit in a Colorado federal matter identifies her as Sherman & Howard, and Law Week Colorado reported her as chair of that firm's diversity, equity and inclusion task force after chairing its women's initiative from 2018).

Notable matters and PTAB. Her most concrete verifiable result is ABC IP LLC v. FRT Triggers LLC (D. Wyo. 1:25-cv-00124), where she filed the complaint and the stipulated consent judgment and permanent injunction. The larger FRT campaign has produced mixed headline results — a preliminary injunction granted in ABC IP v. Hoffman Tactical (E.D. Tenn., Feb. 2026) and a PI denied in the District of Wyoming that is on expedited appeal to the Federal Circuit — but those briefs are signed principally by other counsel (e.g., Wood Herron & Evans), so results should not be attributed to Fetter individually without checking the docket. She also secured a $3M+ jury verdict and fee award after a 10-day construction/financing trial and a $10M policyholder coverage settlement per her firm bio. I found no IPR, PGR, or other PTAB proceeding naming her as counsel, and her bio lists no Federal Circuit admission; treat her PTAB experience as unestablished. Education (reliably sourced): J.D., University of Wyoming College of Law, 2009 (Order of the Coif); B.S., University of Wyoming, 2006.
