Kodak accuses Apple and HTC of patent infringement

Kodak has filed patent infringement lawsuits against Apple and HTC. The lawsuit concerns patents related to digital imaging.

Specifically, Kodak accused two other companies of infringing a patent describing transmission technology. The companies use similar technologies in their tablets and smartphones.

Kodak is demanding a ban on sales of Apple and HTC devices and compensation for damages, the amount of which has not yet been announced.

Experts believe that filing this lawsuit is one way to attract market attention to its patent portfolio, which the company wants to sell to avoid bankruptcy.
