“Eastman Kodak keeps trying to force Apple into a license agreement relating to its portfolio of approximately 1,000 digital imaging patents,” Florian Mueller reports for FOSS Patents.
“It hasn’t achieved a breakthrough in an ongoing ITC investigation (the target date of which was recently extented to September), but today it brought two new lawsuits — one against Apple, another one against HTC — in the Western District of New York (Kodak’s home court),” Mueller reports. “The complaint targets the iPad 2, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and the iPod touch (4th generation).”
Mueller reports, “The complaint against HTC lists the following devices: the HTC EVO View 4G, Flyer, Jetstream, Vivid, Amaze 4G, Desire, Evo Design 4G, Hero S, Rezound, Rhyme, Sensation 4G, and the Wildfire S. All of those are Android-based.”

Didnt Kodak just file for bankrupsy? Must be needing cash to pay off whoever it is that wants
This is a desperate ploy to get SOMEBODY…ANYBODY to buy the company. Those patents might be worth as much as $5 per share, and EK’s price right now under $1.
And your law degree in intellectual property rights is from where? Thought so.
You’re an idiot.
So Kodak is about to go into bankruptcy as soon as they sell their patent portfolio. Maybe able should just buy Kodak’s IP.
i think that is kodaks game plan
Kodak your days are over…Just go away….BTW No one wants your OLD patents which are about to expire soon!
it couldn’t have happened to a worse company that put other better films out of business. Kodak is the Edison of the photography world.
In what currency are they paying their lawyers?
EK is circling the drain and this is just a side effect of the death throes they are experiencing.
Apple should be savagely punished in the courts for what they have done to Kodak. PURE outright theft! Apple must be made to pay hard. I suggest a fine of at least 20 billion dollars, all given to Kodak.
I agree! They should start paying that immediately. One dollar per year.
