Frequently Asked Questions

Did Big Daddy Unlimited declare the RareBreed FRT a machine gun?

No, this is a misinterpretation. A lawyer for Little Mommy Limited included a jab in a legal brief suggesting the FRT operated outside the law. This was not an official declaration by Big Daddy Unlimited or the ATF, but rather a tactic within a patent dispute.

Why did the court ask the ATF to step in regarding the FRT?

The court invited the government to participate as an amicus curiae (friend of the court) to provide input on legal ambiguities. Neither party in the lawsuit claims the FRT is a machine gun, and the court needs clarification on patent enforceability for potentially regulated items.

What is the core of the RareBreed FRT lawsuit?

The lawsuit is primarily a patent battle between Common Breed Triggers (FRT15) and Little Mommy Limited. The dispute centers on whether the FRT's design is novel and patentable, with arguments referencing prior art like binary triggers.

What is a claim construction brief in a patent case?

A claim construction brief is a document where parties in a patent lawsuit argue to the court how specific terms and claims within a patent should be interpreted. It's a crucial stage in defining the scope of the patent protection.
