1 case as defendant.

Company profile

Peter Brennen is an individual named as a co-defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit alongside MaRs Trigger, LLC. MaRs Trigger is a Texas-based company, and while Brennen's specific title is not publicly available, a court summons addressed to him "c/o MaRs Trigger, LLC" suggests he is a principal or owner of the company. No further information regarding the size or founding date of the privately held MaRs Trigger, LLC is publicly available.

MaRs Trigger, LLC manufactures and sells aftermarket firearm components. The company’s products include a patent-pending “AK FRT Spring-loaded System,” which is a type of forced reset trigger (FRT). This mechanism uses the firearm’s reciprocating action to mechanically reset the trigger, which can enable a faster rate of fire compared to standard semi-automatic triggers.

As a litigant, Peter Brennen’s posture is that of an individual associated with an operating company defending against patent infringement claims. He is named as a defendant in one case and has no record as a plaintiff. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a common venue for patent litigation. The plaintiffs are Rare Breed Triggers, Inc., an operating company in the same market, and ABC IP, LLC, which holds the patent rights.

The case, ABC IP, LLC et al. v. MaRs Trigger, LLC et al., is part of a broad, multi-defendant litigation campaign by the plaintiffs to assert patents related to forced reset triggers. Dozens of similar lawsuits have been centralized into a multi-district litigation (MDL) proceeding titled "IN RE: SUPER SAFETY PATENT LITIGATION." The complaint against Brennen and his company alleges that their trigger mechanism infringes on four patents and that Brennen was personally put on notice of the alleged infringement prior to the lawsuit being filed.
