We received this statement from Atrius Development Group:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — STATEMENT ON RARE BREED PATENT ALLEGATIONS
January 30, 2026
Atrius Development Group issues the following statement to its distributors and retail partners regarding the frivolous patent assertions made by Rare Breed against the Second Amendment community.
Prior to bringing the Atrius products to market, Atrius has opinions from numerous large patent law firms that Atrius products do not infringe on any existing patents.
“Atrius Development Group stands behind its products and will support our distribution and retail partners whose Second Amendment rights are being violated via patent litigation by Rare Breed,” said Ryan Spadafore, CEO of Atrius Development Group.
“The false and frivolous Rare Breed claims have been evaluated and will be addressed directly in the appropriate forum. We believe the bullying tactics of Rare Breed are dishonorable and an insult to the Second Amendment community.”
Rare Breed has made allegations concerning our Atrius products and has chosen the cowardly action of opening/threatening litigation against those in our dealer network in an attempt to destabilize what the Super Safety Community has built in the wake of Rare Breed bending the knee to the ATF. They prefer to feed their greed and use unethical lawfare against individuals like Tim Hoffman, of Hoffman Tactical, all while claiming benevolence and altruism.
Atrius Development Group is the backstop to these actions.
Atrius Development Group encourages any distributor or retailer in receipt of frivolous claims from Rare Breed relating to Atrius products to promptly notify Atrius leadership so the company can coordinate an appropriate response and provide immediate support. Atrius remains confident in its legal position and in the continued supply and availability of its products. We will continue to fight for the expanded access of parts and accessories that advance the Second Amendment, no matter what forces stand in our way.
More power to the Dealers. Together we win.
Stay Blessed,
TEAM ATRIUS
Thanks and keep up the good fight.
Unfortunately I’ve been awaiting shipment of Atrius products purchased through one of your dealers on an order placed December 18, 2025. Hopefully we’ll see those items shipped very soon.
Thanks once more,

Stay the course! Thank you for taking up the banner and continuing to fight! It is painfully obvious that freedom isn’t free and I pray for your continued success.
dont bend a knee to rare greed! They’re about as much of the 2A community as a lib.
I said from the beginning, how can there be any issues? Its not the same thing as rare breeds product. Good for you guys for standing strong.
I have one Super Selector and ordered another. They work great when I shoot .223/5.56, 300BLK, and .22.
Great product. Keep them coming and screw Rare Breed.
Look into filing a counter lawsuit, I’ll contribute.
Rare breed is a trash company and always will be. They don’t stand behind their product or service their customers the way they should. I hope this whole battle cripples Rarebreed out of business.
Rare Breed is the 2A equivalent of Anakin Skywalker turning into Darth Vader.
This lawsuit has earned my business. Thanks to bare greed I decided to purchase more Atrius products. Will continue to support Atrius in “the good fight”.
Tim Hoffman needs our help.

Hoffman Tactical has been sued by ABC IP, LLC and RARE BREED TRIGGERS, INC for several instances of patent infringement, as well as other accusations. On February 11th of 2026, the Court granted a preliminary injunction preventing us from selling our design, the Super Safety, which in effect prevents us from earning the needed revenue to support our vast and expanding legal expenditures.
Your contribution will aid in paying for the attorneys, law firms, experts, and other expenses required in a case of this magnitude.
I just got my first Atrius a few days ago. I found about you guys through Rare Greed’a antics. Thanks to rare Greed, I will be buy one or two more later this month.
I sold all the Super Selectors I purchased. So when the goon squad comes around to confiscate them after helping anti-2nd rare greed win the court battle, they can skip my place.
The entire firearms industry needs to stand on the side of Atrius and Hoffman and defeat the firearm-hating pricks at rare greed.
We have a small retail gun store and gunsmithing shop. Half the Rare Greed trigger-installed guns we get in are almost impossible to get to run right. However, 99% of the AR profile guns we put Atrius Safeties in work perfectly right out of the box. Since these are based on the Hoffman super safety design, a tried and proven system, how can you go wrong.
