Will they ever stop?Now poor and bankrupt Kodak gets sued by Apple.Kodak announced it was leaving the digital camera market and would focus on monetizing its trove of patents. It’s over some of these that Apple is now itching to sue.

Kodak founded in 1880 and Apple founded 1977 I think Kodak's patents have been around much longer and they have been in the game much longer.

Maybe they're like me ? i reply because i like the iPhone, if i could afford a tablet i would go for an iPad over an Android pad, but they're just always infuriated by Apple's bullying of the markets competitors.
Apple clearly want NO competition. They want total global dominance. If they ever achieve this, the market will become boring, no innovation and Apple will be able to charge even more. I dont want to be a slave to one company (or go without).
Imagine if Volvo tried to sue every other car manufacturer to put them out of business. Imagine if they did just that. Can you imagine a world full of cars which are all Volvo ?? what a boring world that would be !!

...and its more focussed on Esato (and the media) lately because all anyone wants to do is posting about who Apple is suing, and not who is suing Apple, or who else in the industry is suing who else and these activities have ALWAYS been happening. But now that Apple are one of the top companies in the world, as is human nature with anything successful, there are many that want to put them down.
I'll say it again, companies are granted patents only after a long and stringent process. If they then choose to protect those legal given interests then that is their right, even if I agree that some (like this one) appear a bit rediculous.
Why is no one complaining about the patent process that grants these patents... at all?

I have though. In another thread a few weeks ago which i dont remember which, i said the people granting these patents must be in Apple's back pocket.
Of course this has always gone on in many industries, but in Apple's case they're simply going too far. They're wanting to sue people for such stupid reasons, many of which arent even their property or rights. I dont think its anything to do with them getting big and popular, that would be the reason Joe Public would use. For me and the phone geeks here on this forum its because we're just p*ssed off hearing about Apple's attempts to kill Samsung, Google, HTC and now even take strips off Kodak - a struggling company who're losing their bread and butter business through the natural progression of cameraphones over compact cameras.

I totally agree with masseur on this..... i think the patent process is flawed.... and if apple chooses to sue and put every competitor out of business, then can they be subject to antitrust lawsuit, similar to MS back in the days?
As much as I love/hate apple, i choose my gadgets not based on brand.... like i have a macbook pro, but using windows on top of it lol (win7>mac os lion)...but then i use htc with android for my phones....

so still you want to make it Apple's fault. Shall we now start new threads about a conspiracy regarding Apple and the patent offices in every territory?
