“Eastman Kodak Co. failed to persuade a judge to rule that Apple Inc. has no interest in a group of patents Kodak is putting up for sale as part of its bankruptcy reorganization,” David McLaughlin reports for Bloomberg.
“U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper in Manhattan said the dispute could be resolved through a lawsuit in Kodak’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case,” McLaughlin reports. “‘An adversary proceeding will permit the parties to raise issues in an orderly and expeditious fashion and preserve all of their just rights,’ Gropper said at a hearing today.”
McLaughlin reports, “In his ruling, Gropper said Kodak might be able to sell the disputed assets and put the proceeds in escrow until a court rules on whether the money should go to Apple or Kodak. Kodak also can sell assets subject to any ownership interests of Apple, the judge said.”

One way or another Apple will end up owning Kokak patents.
Amen. Sadly that’s all the company is worth at this point.
Everything based on Apple info, belongs to Apple.
Not Kodak.
Not entirely and not yet…
It seems to me from the abstract that Kodak could sell the portfolio to another party, in advance of any bankruptcy lawsuit. Although they may still be liable financially to Apple, Kodak could sell the patents to another party.
Horse and buggy
good couldn’t happen to a worse company. they were the Edison of photography world, corporate greedy punks that destroyed or bought out their competition when they couldn’t compete. karma is a bitch.
The sheer hatred that Apple fan boys have is staggering to behold. There cant be an angrier, nastier group of people around.
No actually. I’ve consistently found Apple fanboys to be the most friendly, joyful and sharing members of the computer community.
Many of us learned how too be total bastards from having to respond to the vile, disgusting and vehemently dishonest anti-Apple trolls we’ve encountered during the enjoyment of our Apple gear. Trolls like you, anonymous coward ‘the joker’.
I’m a grizzly old soldier from the Computer Warz over at the old Usenet newsgroups. We The Mac Users never went trawling for victims over at the Windows newsgroups. We were happy chattering about the latest kewl Apple stuff. However, we were constantly bombed with troll bait from Windows users inside the Mac specific newsgroups.
So please gag and choke on your words ‘the joker’. That deceitful old myth you’re mongering here has never been true. Oh and PLEASE reply. I’m itching to trample you further into the dirt. We Apple fanboys protect our own. 😀
@ Derek – Bravo!
Nothing but love for you my friend, nothing but love.
@ the “joke”r – if we are so hateful, go to another site.
Word!
Good to see that you admit to being a bastard; clearly you are. I too go way back to the early Mac world. My first Mac was the great SE/30. Since then I’ve owned an LC III, a Quadra 630, a blue original iMac, and eMac and a Mac Book Pro.
Back in those days, Mac users never danced on other corporations graves and spewed endless hate. All it takes is an unbiased eye to see how full of seething hatred Mac users are these days. Success sure has come at a price.
I notice that you continue to post as an ANONYMOUS COWARD. So I believe not-a-word that you spew. You rant nothing more than ye olde troll bait. Do try harder, like telling the world who you actually ARE.
Really rigorous argument you got there. Sure, I’ll do that, right after breeze, twilightmoon, thethirdshoe, macrobe, andintroducing, and rhetoric.assassin go first.
Moron.
And you are WHO? (besides a troll that is.)
