根據彭博社報導，12月19 日，柯達宣布以5.25億美元的價格，將專利權出售給由智財風險管理顧問公司（Intellectual Ventures Management）以及PRX專利風險顧問公司領軍的專利權聯盟。
共有12家企業參與這個聯盟，包括蘋果、三星、宏達電、RIM、谷歌、臉書、亞馬遜、微軟、華為、奧多比、富士、相片印刷與分享網站Shutterfly等。
柯達出售的專利超過1,100項以上，涵蓋範圍包括擷取、重製、與分享數位影像等技術。不過，這僅是柯達專利資產的一小部份，目前柯達手上還握有超過9,600項的專利，將繼續尋求出售對象。
這次的專利出售計劃，也使得過去柯達與蘋果、RIM、富士、宏達電、三星之間的專利官司一筆勾銷。
這次取得柯達專利的所有科技大廠中，最引人注意的就是蘋果與谷歌。
起 初蘋果與谷歌原是分屬於不同的競標陣營，但在今年8月，兩方陣營決定合併，這次順利拿下柯達專利權，也彌補了谷歌在上次北電網路專利競標失利的遺憾。 2011年7月，由蘋果、微軟、RIM、愛立信、索尼、EMC合組的聯盟以45億美元的價格，取得北電網路6,000多項專利。谷歌9億美元的提議價格， 完全無法競爭。
這次的專利順利出售，也使得柯達更接近在2013年上半年結束破產保護的目標。（吳凱琳編譯）
