Defendant
1 case as defendant.
MaRs Trigger, LLC is a private company based in Clarksville, Texas, that designs and sells firearm accessories. Also operating under the name MARS TECH, the company specializes in manufacturing and selling "Forced Reset Triggers" (FRTs) and related parts kits. Public information on the company's founding date, employee count, or revenue is not available.
The company is an operating business that sells physical products to consumers and other businesses. Its main product lines are FRT kits for various firearm platforms, including the AK-47 and AR-15, as well as complete trigger systems for platforms like the MP5. These devices are designed to use the energy from a firearm's cycling bolt carrier group to reset the trigger, allowing for a significantly increased rate of fire. MaRs Trigger's products are sold directly through its website and through third-party online retailers of firearm parts.
Consistent with its status as an operating company, MaRs Trigger's sole appearance in the patent litigation database is as a defendant. The company has not been tracked as a plaintiff. Its single case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known for patent litigation.
The case, ABC IP, LLC et al. v. MaRs Trigger, LLC et al., filed in January 2026, appears to be part of a broader legal campaign by the plaintiffs. The co-plaintiffs, Rare Breed Triggers, Inc. and its affiliate ABC IP, LLC, have filed numerous patent infringement lawsuits against competitors in the forced reset trigger market. The litigation campaign followed a settlement between Rare Breed Triggers and the Department of Justice that allowed it to resume operations.
The complaint alleges that the defendants' "Super Safety" firearm trigger mechanism infringes on four of the plaintiffs' patents, including the '159 patent. The plaintiffs are alleging willful infringement, and the case is assigned to Judge Rodney Gilstrap.
