Bankrupt imaging icon Eastman Kodak Co. and its one-time partner, consumer electronics manufacturer Apple Inc. have both fired their latest salvos in a lengthy struggle over ten patents dating back to the early 1990s, reports UK-based tech website The Register, among others. In the middle of last week, Kodak filed a complaint with the US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, claiming that Apple was attempting to "delay and derail" its attempt to sell off a large chunk of its patent portfolio by claiming ownership of the ten patents. For its part, Apple has claimed that Kodak seeks to rob it of its right to assert claims to the patents through the courts.
