Benjamin Booher, JR.

Benjamin Booher, JR. is an individual inventor, not a company. Public records list him as a co-inventor on at least one U.S. patent alongside Benjamin V. Booher, SR. As an individual, there is no associated corporate headquarters, employee count, or revenue information available.

Booher is the co-inventor of U.S. Patent No. 10,098,402, titled "Energy absorbing football helmet." He does not appear to be involved in the manufacturing or sale of any products. The patented technology describes a football helmet with a shell that has slots designed to create deformable sections, or "beam portions," which are intended to absorb energy upon impact. In the context of his patent litigation, Booher is acting as a patent holder asserting his intellectual property rights.

The litigation data shows Booher as a plaintiff in one case and a defendant in none. This posture is typical of an individual inventor or non-practicing entity (NPE) enforcing a patent against an operating company. The single tracked case was filed in the Indiana Southern District Court, where the defendant is based.

The notable case is Benjamin Booher, JR. et al. v. Schutt Sports Inc, filed on April 22, 2026. The lawsuit asserts infringement of the '402 patent against Schutt Sports, a major U.S. manufacturer of football helmets and other protective sports equipment headquartered in Plainfield, Indiana. The "et al." in the case name suggests the presence of co-plaintiffs, likely including the patent's co-inventor.
