Sony Sues Kodak Over Digital Camera Patents
Last month Kodak sued Sony, alleging that the consumer electronics company infringed 10 of Kodak’s patents related to digital photography. This month it’s the turn of Sony to sue Kodak, for breach of 10 patent rights relating to digital cameras. Sounds familiar? A quote from the BBC article doesn’t sound very convining to me: “However, Sony has denied that its lawsuit is a tit-for-tat move, saying it relates to different patents.”
I’m not sure what the two companies stand to gain from such legal action - surely they should be concentrating on releasing new products and gaining market-share? The likes of Canon and Nikon must be rubbing their hands with glee…

What do you think they are, 3-man companies? They _are_ large enough to do a couple of things at once.
