Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Hush Distribution LLC is a private company based in Texas that operates as an online retailer of firearms, ammunition, and related accessories. The company holds a Federal Firearms License (FFL) issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), which licenses it as a manufacturer of firearms other than destructive devices. While one address is listed in Lantana, Texas, another is in Plano, Texas. The company's size in terms of employee count or revenue is not publicly available.
Operating as "America's largest online firearms and accessories mall," Hush Distribution offers a wide array of products from numerous manufacturers. Its extensive inventory includes handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, suppressors, and various parts and gear such as optics, triggers, holsters, and body armor. The company sells products from well-known brands like Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, Magpul, and Surefire, in addition to many others.
Hush Distribution's patent litigation profile is that of an operating company defending its business. The company is currently a defendant in one tracked patent infringement case, filed in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas. Having zero cases as a plaintiff and one as a defendant suggests the company is not engaged in patent assertion and is instead the target of litigation.
The single tracked case is Rare Breed Triggers Inc et al. v. Hush Distribution LLC, filed in January 2026. The plaintiff, Rare Breed Triggers, is known for manufacturing "forced-reset triggers" (FRTs), which have been the subject of significant, high-profile litigation with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding their legality. The lawsuit against Hush Distribution, brought by Rare Breed Triggers and its associated IP holding company, alleges patent infringement, suggesting a conflict over the sale of triggers or related firearm components.
The infringed product is a firearm trigger mechanism known as an adapted forced reset trigger.
