Tethrd LLC

Tethrd LLC is a private company headquartered in Columbia, Tennessee, founded in 2018. The company operates in the sporting goods manufacturing sector and has an estimated 21-50 employees. Dan Chumbler was appointed as CEO in February 2024.

Tethrd specializes in designing, engineering, and manufacturing ultralight saddle hunting equipment. Their product lines include various saddle models (such as Phantom, Carnivore 2 Panel, and Ultralock saddles), climbing sticks (like One Sticks and Skeletors), and platforms (such as the Predator V). They also offer ropes, lineman belts, tree tethers, packs, and other related hunting gear and apparel, aiming to provide mobile, stealthy, and safe elevated hunting systems.

Based on the provided case data, Tethrd LLC appears as a defendant in one tracked case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). This specific case is CRü v. Tethrd LLC, filed in 2025. While the tracked data shows them solely as a defendant, public records indicate Tethrd LLC has also acted as a plaintiff in patent infringement lawsuits in federal courts, asserting its intellectual property related to saddle hunting stand technology. For example, Tethrd LLC was a plaintiff in a settled patent infringement case against Latitude Outdoors LLC concerning U.S. Patent No. US11964175B2, and also filed a patent infringement suit against CRUZR Saddles LLC. This broader context suggests Tethrd LLC is an operating company actively engaged in both defending and asserting its patent portfolio within the competitive saddle hunting equipment market.
