The above article describes the case, but not the resolution, which was that the judge invalidated the patent [1]. Blackbird said it would appeal, but Google doesn't bring up anything after the initial decision.
Personally I thought the best was Newegg sueing the patent troll that dropped their case. "They started the litigation, it would be irresponsible not to finish it." Unfortunately, the case seems to have been terminated several months later, so I'm guessing it didn't work. [2]
