NEW YORK | Wed Feb 15, 2012 9:07pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Apple Inc has asked a bankruptcy court for permission to sue Eastman Kodak, accusing it of infringing its patents.

In a court filing on Tuesday in New York federal bankruptcy court, Apple said it wanted to file a complaint against Kodak at the International Trade Commission.

Apple said the suit would seek to bar Kodak from importing various products, such as printers and digital cameras, that it believes infringes its patents.

Apple said it also wants to file a corresponding lawsuit in the Manhattan federal court, which would seek damages it has suffered since the iconic photography company filed for bankruptcy last month.

The litigation would not be the first legal battle between the two companies. In January, Kodak sued Apple for allegedly infringing its patents related to digital cameras.

The once-dominant photography company filed for bankruptcy protection last month.

The bankruptcy case is in re: Eastman Kodak Co et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. No. 12-1202

Don’t forget, America. You just voted Apple the company with the best reputation (2012 Harris Poll RQ Study of corporate reputation). What a schizophrenic society we are. Or do we merely have tunnel vision? Possible short attention span? Hell, even our political hopefuls don’t really know what we want or admire.

Poquito, you forget, most Americans who buy Apple products just like the shiny case and the logo. They tend not to get involved any deeper. I also imagine these same people keep electing/re-electing idiots to represent us in Washington.
