Benjamin Booher, SR.

Benjamin Booher, Sr. is an individual inventor, not an operating company. Public patent records list both Benjamin V. Booher, Sr., and Benjamin V. Booher, Jr., as co-inventors. There is no evidence of a corporate entity, headquarters, or employee base associated with the inventors.

The inventors hold patents for an "Energy absorbing football helmet." The patented technology describes a football helmet with a one-piece outer shell that includes a plurality of slots. These slots define "energy absorbing beam" portions between them, which are designed to deform and absorb energy upon impact. This design is the subject of their patent assertion activity.

Benjamin Booher, Sr.'s patent litigation posture is that of a patent asserter. The authoritative case data shows he has appeared as a plaintiff in one case and has never been a defendant, which is characteristic of an individual inventor or non-practicing entity enforcing patent rights. The single lawsuit was filed in the Indiana Southern District Court, not a venue commonly associated with high-volume patent assertion campaigns.

The only tracked case is Benjamin Booher, JR. et al. v. Schutt Sports Inc., filed on April 22, 2026. In this lawsuit, the inventors are asserting a patent from their "Energy absorbing football helmet" portfolio against Schutt Sports, a major manufacturer of football helmets and other protective athletic equipment.
