Kodak's Patent Spat Threatens Photo Web Sites

Posted by samzenpus on from the seeing-is-owning dept.

Alain Williams writes "According to the BBC: 'Kodak claimed it owns patents regarding the display of online images that is being infringed by Shutterfly. The photo-sharing site disputes these claims and has launched a counter suit. But the landmark case could have ramifications for other popular online photo sites such as Yahoo's Flickr and Google's Picasa.'"

  1. Market cap.. by RightSaidFred99 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't Kodak's market cap well less than $2BN? Google should just buy them, fire everyone, sell of the interesting parts, and then salt the land where their headquarters is.
