As the toy industry gathered in New York City recently for its marquee annual convention, the head of one small company stood out from the crowd, greeted by fellow business owners like a minor celebrity.
Rick Woldenberg, the chief executive of Learning Resources, helped make headlines last year, when he took the White House to court, challenging Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs on imports from countries around the world.

But the people popping by Woldenberg's booth were an indication of the way uncertainty over trade policy continues to unsettle many firms. The Supreme Court could decide on his case as soon as Friday.
"People have been coming to express appreciation for us standing up," Woldenberg said, speaking by a display of stuffed animals and building blocks.
