Apple and HTC are once again being accused of patent infringement, this time related to how the iPhone, iPad, and iPod transmit digital images. Eastman Kodak announced on Tuesday that it had filed lawsuits against the two companies both with the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the US District Court for the Western District of New York, hinting that it had already attempted to engage the two companies in licensing talks without success.
The patents that Kodak names in its suit against Apple discuss methods for transmitting camera images to a service provider using a network configuration file, the aforementioned network configuration file, methods for capturing images to be sent to an e-mail address, and a digital camera interface for selecting how to transmit images over the network.
