Scott D. Schneider

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Key finding: the Husch Blackwell "Scott D. Schneider" that surfaces publicly is an education/Title IX lawyer, not a patent litigator. Let me dig further to disambiguate and check the docket.

Summary — Scott D. Schneider

Important disambiguation caveat. The single tracked appearance in this dataset (Rare Breed Triggers, Inc. et al. v. Zach Morrow et al., D. Idaho No. 4:25-cv-00298, later drawn into MDL No. 26-md-03176, E.D. Tex.) could not be corroborated as a patent-litigation appearance by a Husch Blackwell attorney named Scott D. Schneider. The publicly available docket excerpts I retrieved for that case list defendant-side counsel as Joyce Ann Hemmer (Elam & Burke, Boise) and John M. Skeriotis (Emerson Thomson Bennet), who entered pro hac vice for defendants DNT LLC and Zach Morrow; no Schneider entry appears in those excerpts, though local-counsel papers may simply fall outside them. Separately, the only well-documented "Scott D. Schneider" tied to Husch Blackwell is an Austin-based higher education / Title IX and labor-and-employment partner who joined the firm in 2018 and, per The Legal 500's Education ranking, left the firm in August 2023 (he is now at Schneider Education & Employment Law PLLC). That attorney's published profile contains no patent or IP practice content. I found no Husch Blackwell bio describing a patent practitioner by this name.

Specialty / focus areas. On the record available, there is no verifiable patent-practice specialty. The lone tracked matter involves mechanical trigger-mechanism patents — Rare Breed Triggers asserts forced-reset-trigger patents (e.g., the '247, '723, '784, '223, '003, '336 and '807 patents) against makers and resellers of competing FRT devices, a mechanical/firearms-component technology area, not Wi-Fi/standards, pharma, or software. The represented party in the tracked matter is a defendant (DNT LLC, d/b/a Deez Nutz Tactical, and Zach Morrow), consistent with the 0 plaintiff / 1 defendant split.

Side preference. Not enough data to establish a preference. With one tracked appearance, all on the defense side and in a local-counsel capacity, nothing supports a characterization as an NPE/PAE-side or operating-company-side patent litigator, and the low count itself argues against describing patent litigation as a core practice.

Firm context. The tracked entry lists Husch Blackwell. I could not verify a Husch Blackwell patent practice bio for this name; the firm's ranked patent-litigation bench (Legal 500, ITC-focused) is led by other attorneys. No prior patent-focused firm history was verifiable.

Notable cases / outcomes. The Rare Breed Triggers matter is the only tracked case. It is part of a large, active MDL (In re Rare Breed Triggers Patent Litigation, E.D. Tex.) involving 100+ defendants, with parallel Federal Circuit activity on preliminary-injunction stays and an unrelated 2023–2025 DOJ/ATF enforcement action (E.D.N.Y.) against Rare Breed that settled in May 2025. I found no verdict, appellate ruling, or settlement attributable to a Scott D. Schneider in that litigation.

PTAB / IPR experience. No IPR, PGR, or other PTAB appearance by this attorney was identified in the search results. (The "Schneider" references in IPR decisions I retrieved refer to a patent owner named Schneider in an unrelated optical-modulator case, not to this attorney.)

Bar / education. No reliably sourced bar admissions or patent-bar registration could be confirmed for a patent litigator of this name. The education-lawyer namesake holds a J.D. from Washington and Lee (1998) and a B.S. from the University of New Orleans (1994); that should not be attributed to a patent practice without confirmation.

Bottom line: the dataset entry should be treated as unverified. Before relying on this profile, I would confirm from the case docket and the State Bar of Idaho (and/or the USPTO patent-attorney roster) whether the "Scott D. Schneider" who appeared is a patent practitioner at all, or a same-name attorney — and, if the latter, correct the firm and role fields.
