Apple has asked a bankruptcy court for permission to sue Kodak, accusing it of infringing its patents.
In a court filing in New York’s 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.
The move comes just days after Kodak said it was killing off its camera division.
Apple said it also wanted 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.
