Kodak licenses projector patents to IMAX to stay afloat

Kodak licenses projector patents to IMAX to stay afloat

Posted on Oct 18, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: KODAK

Eastman Kodak has not handled the transition to digital photography as gracefully as its competitors, but when your company’s over a century old, staying nimble isn’t as easy as it used to be. Of course, a company with that much history has an overabundance of intellectual property, and that fact might help Kodak stay relevant in a market that has been outpacing it for several years. Kodak has announced a deal with IMAX to license its laser projection patents to the movie company, allowing it to more effectively project digital films on its gigantic screens.

Kodak rolls out Playfull Waterproof rugged pocket video cam

Kodak rolls out Playfull Waterproof rugged pocket video cam

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Kodak picked Friday to show a different take on its pocket camcorders. The Playfull Waterproof is a cousin to the original Playfull that trades some performance for hardening against conditions. Although it drops from 1080p down to 720p, it can survive underwater depths of up to 10 feet for two hours, or enough to fill much of the sometimes bundled 4GB SDHC card.

Shares in iconic photography and printing brand Eastman Kodak have fallen by 25 per cent amid the news that a £103 million loan for "general corporate purposes" has been taken out.

Kodak EasyShare Touch M5370 brings HD video to the Facebook party

Kodak EasyShare Touch M5370 brings HD video to the Facebook party

Posted on Sep 15, 2011 by MG1

Hallelujah, spread the word - after months or rumour and speculation the device that we've all been waiting for is finally official. That's right - the Kodak EasyShare Touch M5370 is here!
Okay, so we may have hyped that intro up a bit. And we doubt that Kodak fans will be queuing overnight to get their hands on the compact camera. But for anyone looking for budget a snapper with some decent spec's then it is exciting news nonetheless.
The M5370 adds a couple of megapixels to the original that we saw at CES in January - up to 16 megapixels - and also includes 720p HD video capture.
The key selling point though, especially for the yoof, is the Share button, that is a one-stop shop for all you...

Wireless Co. Eying Kodak Patents for Protection

Wireless Co. Eying Kodak Patents for Protection

Posted on Aug 18, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: KODAK

Kodak has put a number of its patents up for sale in order to unlock their value and generate some income. Many of the patents in question pertain to imaging. The Wall Street Journal reports that one of the companies considering a bid on the patents is "a large, strategic buyer in the wireless industry looking to use the patents for defensive protection." The Journal doesn't say which company. The wireless industry is embroiled in patent litigation, and many of the players are looking for the best way to protect themselves from lawsuits. Owning more patents could help. Google earlier this week announced its intent to acquire Motorola, in part because it will gain 17,000 patents in the deal. ...

Apple Loses Bid for ITC Review of Kodak Patent Ruling

Apple Loses Bid for ITC Review of Kodak Patent Ruling

Posted on Jul 20, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: AppleKODAK

The International Trade Commission on Monday upheld an earlier ruling that said Kodak devices do not infringe upon patents held by Apple.
The ITC has decided not to review Apple's appeal, ITC secretary James Holbein wrote in his decision.
"We are pleased that the Commission has confirmed the [administrative law judge's] finding that there is no violation by Kodak," Kodak said in a statement.
The case dates back to April 2010, when Apple asked the ITC to investigate whether Kodak had violated patents relating to digital still and video cameras with its Kodak Z, Kodak M, and Kodak C series of cameras, as well as its Kodak Slice and Playsport devices. The ITC agreed to hear the case the followi...

Apple, RIM win big as ITC reverses earlier decision in Kodak patent case

Apple, RIM win big as ITC reverses earlier decision in Kodak patent case

Posted on Jul 01, 2011 by MG1

The International Trade Commission on Thursday reversed an earlier decision in a patent case that could cost camera maker Kodak hundreds of millions of dollars from Apple and RIM. Kodak had filed suit against both firms, claiming that their mobile devices infringed on multiple patents owned by the Rochester, NY-based company. An initial ruling in favor of Kodak was under ITC review, and the commission on Thursday reversed parts of the decision that had previously been ruled in Kodak’s favor. Other parts of the original ruling were sent to be examined by a judge of administrative law, and a final ruling is scheduled to be made on August 30th.
