Kodak makes me sick..a once strong company that failed to adapt and lost the entire photography market to smarter and faster companies.

They have now turned to litigation as their main form of business and will piggyback off the hard work of other people who actually understand what it is to innovate.

I hope they lose all their current and future patent cases.

I agree that Kodak has missed the technology boat but they played by the rules and filed a patent. The Patent office reviewed their request and awarded them a patent. There lies the problem. Why did they issue a patent, if according to today's courts, it wasn't valid?

It's important to compete on a level playing field. The patent rules don't apply to everyone especially large US corporations.

I believe all existing patents need to be reviewed and patent protection be no more than 10 years. Innovators can then use your patent as long as they can prove an improved product as the final result. Then watch innovation and technology explode. Less $$$ for the patent lawyers, more $$$ for product development.
