Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Hanes Tactical LLC is a privately held company that appears to operate in the firearms accessories market. Publicly available information regarding its headquarters, founding date, and employee or revenue size is limited. A Reddit social media profile for the company, active in early 2025, announced it would be offering "CNC Machined Precut Triggers" and listed a website, HanesTactical.com.
The company's products appear to be firearm triggers. This is suggested by its own marketing and its involvement in patent litigation initiated by Rare Breed Triggers, a company known for producing "forced-reset triggers" (FRTs) for AR-15-style rifles. These types of triggers are designed to increase a rifle's rate of fire. The operational status and full product line of Hanes Tactical could not be verified from public sources.
Hanes Tactical's patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending its products. It has been named as a defendant in one tracked patent infringement case and has not been a plaintiff. This pattern is typical of a manufacturer or seller being sued by a competitor, rather than a non-practicing entity (NPE) whose business is patent assertion.
The single tracked case against the company is Rare Breed Triggers Inc et al. v. Damion Terrell Bennett et al. The suit was initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in June 2025 and was subsequently transferred to the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas in April 2026. The case alleges patent infringement.
The infringing product is identified as Super Safety.
