The following udev rule worked for me. You can use wildcards in the device name. The rule is case sensitive, i.e., ATTRS{name} works but ATTRS{NAME} does not.

# ALPS DualPoint Stick: Ignore as input device
ATTRS{name}=="*DualPoint Stick", ENV{ID_INPUT}="", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="", ENV{ID_INPUT_POINTINGSTICK}=""
