CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – January 13, 2012 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on Kodak v Apple and HTC

On January 10, 2011, in a last-ditch effort to stay afloat, Kodak filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple and HTC. In our September 2011 report on Kodak, we calculated that over one-third of its digital imaging patent portfolio was commercially impaired. While Kodak litigates against some companies, it has tried to sell the digital imaging portfolio to others. Are these viable ways to save Kodak from bankruptcy?

M·CAM’s Patently Obvious® is a weekly report providing visibility into potentially unconsidered alternatives, including art in the public domain, to patent holdings across a variety of technology areas.
