BLG achieved a victory on summary judgment for its client Star Asia USA in a lawsuit filed by Great Neck Saw Manufacturers. In the lawsuit, Great Neck asserted that Star Asia's folding utility knives sold under the Titan trademark infringed trade dress and patent rights held by Great Neck, in accordance with folding knives sold by Great Neck under the Sheffield, Craftsman, and Husky brands.
In a long-awaited decision, the Supreme Court upheld the patentability of software and business method inventions. In Bilski v. Kappos, the Supreme Court was presented with the question of whether certain types of patents for "processes" are patentable, ruling that the particular invention at issue was not patentable but signaling that software and business methods still qualify for patent protections.
