Kodak launched a suit against Samsung on Wednesday, alleging violations of five patents related to digital imaging.
Kodak has shrugged off its slide into bankruptcy to launch a fresh patent lawsuit, this time against Samsung.
Filed in US District Court for the Western District of New York, the suit (PDF) claims that Samsung infringed on patents connected to such technologies as the ability to send an image from a digital camera, the ability to email images, and the ability to send images over a cellular or Wi-Fi network.
Kodak, in the midst of filing for bankruptcy, said that it has licensed its digital imaging patents to more than 30 tech companies, including LG, Motorola, and Nokia, with all of those licences bearing royalties to Kodak. The action against Samsung follows similar suits triggered by Kodak last week against Apple, HTC and Fujifilm.
