American Outdoor Brands filed a complaint against The Allen Company alleging repeated infringement by Allen of American Outdoor Brands’ patent rights incorporated in the Lead Sled shooting rests; Orange Peel shooting targets; and Ultimate Target Stand through Allen’s sales of the Shottrax and Shot-Rock shooting rests; EZ Aim targets; and the Precision Target Stand, respectively. The complaint asserts infringement of seven of American Outdoor Brands’ patents, was filed in Colorado federal court, and seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages. AOB claims that Allen began selling its Shottrax and Shot-Rock shooting rests without the permission or authorization of the company. American Outdoor Brands is seeking an order that requires Allen to withdraw infringing products from the market, finds Allen’s infringement to be willful, and awards American Outdoor Brands treble damages and its attorneys’ fees from Allen.
