kodak sells ccd sensor technology

I think that their patents are where their value lies. I read somewhere that they have claims against all the major cellular makers and they have their patent lawyers packaging patents up for sale. My thoughts are we might all be better off if they sold their film assets to a stand alone organisation that only made film. Seen it 100 times before where a company with multiple income streams is pulled down by one under performing arm.

Apple sold those businesses because they were: 1) not profitable 2) not their core business going forward. Making digital sensors for cameras is not a core business for kodak? Atleast they stand out in that business while in the printer game they will be another "me too" company.

It seems unlikely that Kodak has its own Steve Jobs waiting in the wings to come back and rescue the company.

I doubt Kodak cares whether it's seen as a "me too" company so long as it makes money. Sentimentality should have no place in their plans.

Kodak is a very old company that failed to move where the market moved. It isn't the first. Stores and business all over the world used to use cash registers made by National Cash Register. When people started buying electronic machines to replace the mechanical devices. National Cash Register kept its head stuck in the sand. Then, it vanished.
