Kodak Sues German Company Over Digital Imaging Patents.

Kodak has filed a lawsuit against Carl Zeiss AG, accusing the German optics company of infringing on its digital imaging patents. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, alleges that Zeiss has used Kodak’s patented technology, which is crucial to digital imaging devices like cameras and smartphones, without proper licensing. Kodak, having shifted from film to digital technologies, is seeking to protect its intellectual property and secure compensation for the alleged violations. This legal action highlights the ongoing importance of patent rights in the technology sector and could have significant consequences for companies operating in the digital imaging space.
