Dutch company Philips Electronics on Wednesday said it sued Eastman Kodak Co. claiming several of Kodak's cameras infringe on a patent related to the compression of digital images.More here.
A Kodak spokesman said the Rochester, New York-based company would defend itself "vigorously" in the suit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Delaware. Representatives from both companies declined to discuss financial details of the litigation.
Philips developed the technology in question in the 1980s and has contributed significantly to the compression technology used in products such as DVD players, medical scanners and digital still cameras, a company spokesman said.
