Attorney Summary — Shandon W. Clark (Clark Firm)
Focus areas. The single tracked matter places Clark in the Rare Breed Triggers patent litigation, the MDL-coordinated campaign over firearm trigger technology. Per the case list, the matter is captioned Rare Breed Triggers Inc et al. v. Damion Terrell Bennett et al. Public filings in that family of cases (consolidated as In re Rare Breed Triggers Patent Litigation, MDL No. 3176, E.D. Tex., Chief Judge Amos L. Mazzant) show the asserted patents are U.S. Patent No. 12,038,247 (claim 15) and U.S. Patent No. 7,398,723, directed to the "Super Safety" forced-reset trigger. That is a mechanical/firearms-art profile rather than a telecommunications, software, or life-sciences one. Because the tracked sample is a single case, no broader technology pattern is established.
Side preference. Based on the authoritative case list, Clark's only tracked appearance is on the defendant side (0 plaintiff / 1 defendant), appearing as lead counsel. That points to a defense-oriented practice, but with a sample of one this should be read as a data point rather than a demonstrated preference. Notably, the parallel Rare Breed Triggers MDL involves a coordinated plaintiff-side filing campaign by ABC IP, LLC and Rare Breed Triggers, Inc. against numerous sellers across at least five districts, so the matter sits within a multi-defendant defensive posture.
Firm context. Clark is identified with Clark Firm, which the case list treats as the relevant practitioner entity. I was unable to locate a firm website, professional profile, or secondary source confirming Clark's bar admissions, education, prior firm history, or whether the practice is a solo/small-firm shop. Multiple similarly named attorneys surfaced in searching (e.g., a Randall Clark in New Hampshire; a Shannon L. Clark in Arizona), and none matched — so I have not attributed any of their backgrounds, results, or credentials here. If Clark is affiliated with another firm of record in the MDL, that is not reflected in the available data.
Notable matters and PTAB. The Rare Breed Triggers MDL is the sole tracked matter and is genuinely active: plaintiffs moved for a consolidated preliminary injunction in May 2026, defendants moved to stay that injunction pending two Federal Circuit appeals — ABC IP LLC v. Peak Tactical LLC, No. 26-1527 (Fed. Cir.), and Timothy Hoffman v. ABC IP, LLC, No. 26-1775 (Fed. Cir.) — and the court set PI argument for January 11, 2027. No outcome, verdict, settlement, or claim-construction ruling attributable to Clark was verifiable. I also found no record of Clark appearing in IPR, PGR, or other PTAB proceedings; nothing in the tracked data indicates post-grant practice. Caveat: docket documents I reviewed list other defense counsel of record (e.g., John M. Skeriotis of Emerson, Thomson & Bennett LLC for the joining defendants), and I could not independently confirm Clark's entry of appearance through a public filing or profile.
Bar / education. Not reliably sourced; omitted rather than guessed.
