Company profile

Based on available litigation data, Tommy Toys, LLC is a private company associated with Lawrence DeGarmo, who is named alongside the company in court records. Publicly available information does not specify its headquarters, founding date, or employee/revenue figures. This entity should not be confused with the major, unrelated Japanese toy manufacturer TOMY Company, Ltd. or its international subsidiaries.

The nature of the patent litigation filed against Tommy Toys, LLC indicates it is an operating company in the firearms accessories market. The plaintiff in both tracked cases is Rare Breed Triggers, LLC (or its licensing affiliate), a company known for manufacturing "forced reset triggers" (FRTs). These components are designed to increase the firing rate of semi-automatic rifles. The lawsuits allege patent infringement, suggesting that Tommy Toys, LLC manufactures or sells competing products in this specific sector of the firearms industry.

Tommy Toys, LLC's patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending its products. It has been named as a defendant in two patent cases and has not been tracked as a plaintiff. The lawsuits were filed in the Northern and Eastern Districts of Oklahoma by a direct competitor in the FRT market.

ABC IP, LLC is described as the licensing entity for Rare Breed Triggers.
