Digital Camera Patents


NY Times: Kodak Accuses Sony of Patent Violations on Digital Imaging

In a suit filed Monday in Federal District Court in Rochester, Kodak, which is struggling to make its brand name synonymous with digital photography, just as it once was with film, charged Sony with infringing on 10 patents that were issued to Kodak from 1987 to 2003. The patents covered various aspects of capturing, storing and displaying both still and moving digital images.

Does an enterprising reader want to spend a few minutes digging through the USPTO site to find out what these patents are for extra credit? I’m mildly curious, but otherwise occupied with some initial interest confusion issues…
