Kodak Wins Another Round Against Apple
May 13, 2011, 7:25 AM by Eric M. Zeman
A judge with the International Trade Commission has ruled that Kodak did not infringe on Apple patents pertaining to digital camera technology. The ITC will make a final decision on this matter in September. Apple had countersued Kodak, which first accused Apple (and RIM) of violating its patents in January 2010. In January of this year, the ITC initially ruled that Apple hadn't infringed on Kodak's patents, but in March, the ITC agreed to review that decision after Kodak appealed. News on that patent claim is still forthcoming. Kodak is seeking a $1 billion payout from Apple and RIM combined to help relieve its own financial troubles.
