UPDATE: Eastman Kodak Alleges Patent Infringement Against Apple, HTC
Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) announced today that it has filed lawsuits against Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Inc. and HTC Corporation, alleging the infringement of certain Kodak patents relating to digital imaging technology.
A complaint filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission specifically claims that certain of Apple's iPhones, iPads, and iPods, and certain of HTC's smartphones and tablets infringe Kodak patents that relate to technology for transmitting images. Kodak also alleges that certain of HTC's smartphones infringe a patent that covers technology related to a method for previewing images which is already the subject of pending actions against Apple. Separately, Kodak filed suits today against Apple and HTC in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York alleging the same infringement.
