On Wednesday, July 26, a Washington district court ruled dismissed a trade secrets lawsuit against Starbucks related to their line of coffee-flavored lip glosses. Balmuccino, LLC developed a coffee lip balm in 2016 and met with Starbucks the following year to discuss a potential partnership. A deal failed to materialize and Balmuccino launched the trade secrets lawsuit in 2019 after Starbucks released a line of S’mores Frappuccino lipsticks and lip glosses. However, the district judge agreed with Starbucks that the complaint is time-barred and thus dismissed the case.
