SHAWN NEALON

Shawn Nealon is a firearms designer and inventor, not a company. He is known for inventing the CAV-15, a design for a monolithic polymer lower receiver for AR-15-style firearms. Nealon is closely associated with KE Arms, LLC, a Phoenix, Arizona-based manufacturer of firearms and components, which produces the KP-15, a product derived from Nealon's CAV-15 design. KE Arms was founded in 2013 and operates as a private company.

As an inventor, Nealon's work is embodied in products manufactured by KE Arms. The company specializes in components and complete firearms for platforms including the AR-15, AR-10, pistol caliber carbines, and pistols. A key product associated with Nealon's design is the KP-15 polymer lower receiver. KE Arms is a licensed firearms manufacturer (Type 07 FFL) and markets its products to both commercial and OEM customers.

The provided litigation data shows Shawn Nealon's posture is that of a defendant. He has been named in one tracked patent case and has not been a plaintiff. This indicates he is not an aggressor in patent litigation but is instead defending his and his partners' right to manufacture products based on his designs. The single tracked case was filed in the Arizona District Court, where his associated company, KE Arms, is headquartered.

The tracked case is ABC IP, LLC et al. v. KE ARMS, LLC et al. The plaintiff, ABC IP, LLC, is an active patent litigant that holds and asserts patents related to firearm trigger mechanisms, often in conjunction with Rare Breed Triggers, Inc. Nealon has also been a defendant in other intellectual property disputes; he and KE Arms were previously sued by GWACS Armory in a separate, non-tracked case concerning the intellectual property of the KP-15 lower receiver.
