As of May 2, 2026

Firm: Brown, Neri, Smith & Khan LLP
Summary: Brown, Neri, Smith & Khan (BNSK) is a California-based litigation boutique with offices in Los Angeles and Orange County. Founded by litigators with experience at larger firms, BNSK focuses on high-stakes, complex business disputes and is recognized in the Chambers USA Spotlight guide for its general commercial litigation and intellectual property practices. The firm has more than 25 attorneys and represents clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to individuals.

Patent Litigation Practice: BNSK’s intellectual property group handles patent, trademark, and copyright infringement litigation, as well as trade secret disputes. The firm’s litigators represent a diverse client base that includes companies in the technology, life sciences, and retail sectors. The authoritative case data shows the firm in one matter representing the plaintiff, Rare Breed Triggers Inc et al. v. Orion Arms Corp, a patent case related to mechanical firearm components. This plaintiff-side representation aligns with the firm's broader litigation practice, which handles cases for both plaintiffs and defendants.

Key Attorneys & PTAB Practice: The firm's website lists several partners with experience in intellectual property and complex litigation, including Geoffrey A. Neri, Nathan M. Smith, and Amjad M. Khan. Franklin D. Kang, a senior counsel, focuses specifically on IP litigation with an emphasis on patent disputes in U.S. federal courts and at the International Trade Commission. The attorneys of record in the Rare Breed Triggers case—Aaron M. Moore, David A. Neri, and Puya Partow-Navid—are not listed on the firm’s current website, and their specific roles in that matter are not detailed in publicly available dockets. The firm notes experience handling appeals before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), though the volume of its IPR and PGR practice is not publicly reported.
