Kodak sued apple and HTC for patent infringement

Kodak sued apple and HTC on Tuesday, claiming that the two companies infringed Kodak's technical patents related to digital photos. Kodak, which has a history of 131 years, hopes to use its patent portfolio to obtain funds to achieve rejuvenation

both lawsuits were filed through the federal court in Rochester, New York City. Kodak accused apple and HTC of stealing four relevant patents in the company's image transmission, including the technology that users can share photos directly from the camera. The products involved cover many smart products of the two companies. Kodak also accused HTC of infringing another patent related to image preview function

Kodak had previously sued apple and rim for infringement of the patent, and the case is still pending in the U.S. International Trade Commission

analysts predict that Kodak will soon release the company's fourth consecutive fiscal year net loss report.

He said that if the company wins the lawsuit, it will earn more than $1billion in revenue

Laura quat3, Kodak COO (ELA, the necessary checkpoint on the control panel of plastic tensile testing machine), said: as we said before, Kodak is a leading digital imaging innovation enterprise, and our positioning is inaccurate, and we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to establish a leading patent portfolio. We have conducted numerous negotiations with these two enterprises to solve this problem, but we have not reached a satisfactory agreement. Our main interest is not to destroy the usability of any product, but just to get fair compensation, because they stole our technology without our authorization
