What the complaint alleges
ABC IP LLC, Rare Breed Triggers Inc., and RBTM LLC sue Pembleton and Sons' LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, alleging that the defendant's 'Super Safety' product infringes five patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 12,038,247, 12,031,784, 12,529,538, 12,578,159, and 12,636,403) related to forced reset trigger mechanisms for firearms. The plaintiffs also claim that the defendant infringes their FRT trademark by using the mark to promote non-Rare Breed products, which constitutes trademark infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair competition.
