Ampex vs. Kodak Litigation Federal District Court
Ampex Corporation initiated litigation against
Kodak in October 2004 for infringement of one of Ampex's patents used in digital
still cameras. Proceedings were initiated at the International Trade Commission
(ITC) and also in U.S. District Court in Delaware. The District Court suit was
automatically stayed for the duration of the ITC proceeding. Ampex and Kodak
have been unable to agree on a license under the patent in suit. Any remedy that
might be granted to Ampex by the ITC would be limited by the expiration date of
the patent, which is April 2006. Accordingly, Ampex has determined that it would
be preferable to continue the litigation in District Court.
