Eastman Kodak Co.’s $525 million patent sale disclosed Wednesday involved a Who’s Who of the global technology industry, as usually fierce rivals came together to take off the market patents governing the digital cameras now ubiquitous in mobile devices.
The list of licensees for the patents is a dozen-long and includes not only Apple Inc. and Google Inc., but also Facebook Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and China’s Huawei Technologies.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
