Licensed digital technology at least 30 companies, including cellphone manufacturers such as Motorola Inc. and Nokia Corp. Its rich variety of inventions for repeated cash infusions mining became an indispensable tactic driven largely by twist digital Kodak's long and painful. Since 2004, Kodak reported only one full yearBeats by dre tour profit ?? in 2007 ?? and anticipates another annual loss this year before crossing back to profitability sometime in 2012. He has cut its work force to 70,000 in 18.800 of 2002. Kodak has a promising array of new companies, but need to explore other sources of revenue before investments in these areas have time to pay.

WASHINGTON (Reuters)-shares of Eastman Kodak fell 15 percent on Thursday after a trade Panel confirmed U.S. portions of a verdict unfavourable to the company in a patent fight on digital camera technology in mobile phones.

In January, the judge had found that Apple monster beats turbineand Research in Motion has not violated the patented Kodak because it was invalid. The Commission said it was stating in part, reversing in part and remanding in part a previous decision. Chief Executive Antonio Perez of Kodak had suggested earlier that the company could collect $ 1 billion of a favourable decision. Kodak presented its complaint ITC against Apple and RIM in January 2010, arguing the Apple iPhone and Blackberry RIM's camera-enabled infringing a Kodak patent relating to a method for viewing images. He asked the ITC to bar imports of Apple and RIM phones and other wireless devices with digital cameras. Apple Filed a countersuit in ITC, accusing Kodak of violating its patented technology. In an initial decision, Kodak was infringed. ITC's warning on Thursday gave a brief summary of an opinion later. The inner judge had found in January that Kodak's patent was invalid, which means that he could not be violated. The full Commission, in its Declaration, asked the judge to reconsider the invalidity decision, but said it took no position on the issue. On the issue of capturing a still image while viewing an image movement, the ITC said: "we think the Apple iPhone 3 g s and iPhone 4 not literally infringe the claim asserted in their non-flash-photo of operation". But he said the accused products from Apple and RIM violate a part of technology involving color patterns. "We are pleased that the Commission has decided to modify our favour the initial recommendation of judge," said Laura Quatela, General Counsel of Kodak, in a statement sent by e-mail. "As we have said from the beginning, we remain highly confident that in this case finally end in favor of Kodak". Kodak also has related lawsuits pending against the RIM and Apple in federal courts in Texas and New York. The ITC set a date of August 30, 2011, but said that the administrative law judge could extend the date based on the need for more processes. Kodak's shares changed dramatically on the evolution of the case. They rose in March on the ITC would review the decision of the judge. (Reporting by Diane Bartz; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)
