The patent, titled "Headband with protective insert," was granted to inventor Shane Michael Johnston on June 25, 2024. The absence of litigation is not unusual for a patent that has been issued for less than two years.
Searches were conducted using the specific patent number in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), the primary appellate court for patent cases, and district court databases accessible via the PACER Case Locator, with no results found. Similarly, a review of litigation cases on platforms like Unified Patents, which tracks patent disputes, showed no record of US 12,016,408 being asserted.
