Analysis
Confirming on the
victory, Chris Veronda, a spokesperson from Kodak said, “The court has affirmed
that Apple’s legal position in this matter was without merit.” The fact that the Eastman Kodak Co. has
always vouched the filing as Apple’s strategy of raising legal arguments,
considers this as a counter-step of distracting Kodak’s central assertion that
Apple and others have repeatedly violated our intellectual property rights.
Though there has been no formal opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit affirmed an ITC ruling from July 2011 that an Apple patent
wasn’t infringed. The Notice of the decision was posted on the court’s website.
Apple which has been off late facing bitterness in other similar kind of cases
had filed the case against Kodak after being targeted in a patent suit by
Kodak. Apple which had also filed a case against Google’s Motorola Mobility,
had been rejected an injunctive relief by Richard A Posner, a judge in the
federal court in Chicago.

Kodak had charged the
iPhone maker stating that the patent claim for image-preview feature
infringement was invalid and unsound.
Kodak, which filed for
bankruptcy protection in January, is relying on its patent portfolio to help
fund a turnaround. The company is auctioning off two groups of patents and
plans to announce winners on Aug. 13.
