Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Steven Thanh Nguyen is an individual defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit. Court filings indicate he conducts business under the name Polymer Pew. Further details, such as a business location, founding date, or size, could not be verified from public sources. His business name and the context of the litigation suggest he is involved in the manufacturing or sale of firearm components and accessories, potentially including 3D-printed items, as "polymer" refers to the material and "pew" is common slang for a firearm.
The single patent case tracked in the database is one in which Nguyen is a defendant. He was sued by Rare Breed Triggers, Inc., an operating company that manufactures and sells "forced reset triggers" for AR-15-style rifles. This defensive posture, with zero cases as a plaintiff and one as a defendant, is typical of an individual inventor or small business being accused of infringement by a larger market participant.
The case, Rare Breed Triggers Inc et al. v. Steven Thanh Nguyen, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on April 23, 2026. This lawsuit is part of a larger legal conflict consolidated into a multi-district litigation (MDL) proceeding titled IN RE: SUPER SAFETY PATENT LITIGATION. In the MDL, Nguyen is listed as one of several defendants who moved to transfer the cases to a different venue, indicating he is one of numerous sellers targeted by the plaintiffs over similar products.
The accused product is a three-position firearm safety mechanism known as the "Super Safety."
