Bradford J. Gleeson

Entity type. "Bradford J. Gleeson" is an individual (a natural person), not a corporation. In patent dockets he appears as a named party and inventor rather than as a company, so there is no headquarters, founding year, employee count, revenue band, ticker, or parent ownership to report; no source supports such figures and none are asserted here. Litigation filings place him in the St. Louis, Missouri area and connect him to Tailgate Nation, Inc., a co-plaintiff entity in the same dockets.

Products / operations. Gleeson is identified as an inventor on U.S. patents relating to tailgating and outdoor game equipment — for example U.S. Patent 6,808,175, a lawn game apparatus combining a goalpost structure with tethered projectiles. The docket record points to a small, inventor-controlled tailgate-products business rather than a large operating company. No verified product catalog, headcount, or revenue figures are available; the entity is best characterized as an individual inventor working through a closely held company.

Litigation posture. The tracked data shows a single case, with Gleeson as plaintiff and none as defendant, filed 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (St. Louis). That single-plaintiff-filing, no-defensive-suit pattern fits an individual inventor asserting patents, and the Stanford NPE Litigation Database classifies Gleeson/Tailgate Nation under its "Individual" and "Individual-inventor-started" categories. Venue was Missouri, not the Eastern District of Texas.

Notable cases. The central matter is Tailgate Nation, Inc. et al. v. Top Marketing USA et al., D. Or. 6:08-cv-00167 (Feb. 8, 2008), in which Gleeson and Tailgate Nation sued Wild Sales, LLC, Anheuser-Busch, NFL Enterprises, NFL Productions, IMG, Amazon.com, G.I. Joe's, The Sports Authority and Toys "R" Us-Delaware. Related filings include Wild Sales, LLC v. Tailgate Nation, Inc. et al. (N.D. Ind. 1:08-cv-00498, Apr. 17, 2008; E.D. Mo. 4:08-cv-00772, May 29, 2008), while tracked case 4:08-cv-00770 lists Wild Sales, Tailgate Nation and Gleeson as co-plaintiffs. A related E.D. Mo. action (4:08-cv-01040) terminated Jan. 28, 2009. The co-plaintiff alignment suggests resolution or consolidation, but docket records do not disclose terms.
