Judge Rules for Kodak in Apple Patent Dispute

Eastman Kodak Co. won a partial victory against Apple Inc. over patents, defeating Apple’s ownership claims to two of 10 patents that Kodak plans to sell as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper in Manhattan ruled in favor of Kodak on the patents, saying the iPhone maker waited too long to assert its claims, according to a decision.
