They also borrowed $950M to clean up their mess. Jesus, 10 year screwup costs just a shy of a billion dollar? I doubt they can do anything about it.

camera phones have been around for a decade now doing these things and now they are going to court over this? Isn’t their a statue of limitations on this? My first camera phone in 2001 could do all this.

I agree to a certain extent. It should be more about code. If someone uses the same code to do a similar or like task that is wrong. Or maybe even the look of the operating system. Touchwiz was way to similar looking to iOS.

Our company today came within the sites of a patent troll. They are suing us for how we link products to purchases or something like that. It is nothing more than blackmail considering along with us the plaintiffs are Microsoft and Amazon to name a few. We are just a little bitty company with 10 employees so this just goes to show you they are suing anyone they just pick out of a hat. It is now beyond ridiculous :/

I can’t help but feel bad for Kodak. It’s sad to see an old company with such a rich history die.

Yes. It’s been that way for quite a while. That’s why software patents must cease to exist. They do not make sense.

I thought Kodak was just flaunting their patents to potential buyers trying to prove that they are actually worth something, (sentimental values & loyalties aside).

Kodak invented digital photography and failed to bring it to market. It deserves bankruptcy, not a patent victory.

Check Wikipedia… Tomorrow.
