Kodak Patent Portfolio Value Likely Reduced by Invalidity Ruling at ITC
On Monday, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) declared that Kodak’s U.S. Patent No. 6,292,218 was invalid. The ‘218 patent has claims that apparently cover previewing low-resolution versions of a moving image while capturing static images at higher resolutions. Kodak has claimed that most modern smartphones incorporating cameras use this technology.
