Kodak Defeated in Patent Case Against Apple and RIM

"Eastman Kodak Company has lost a critical part of its ITC case against Apple and RIM, in which the company which claims invention of the first ever digital camera back in 1975 has been trying to win royalty payments on a common image-preview feature used in phones."

While the ruling could be overturned by a six-panel review board, it's unlikely.  Apple has filed a patent-infringement complaint against Kodak as well, and that trial will begin on January 31st.
