Apple cannot now pursue ongoing patent infringement litigation against bankrupt photography giant Eastman Kodak.

US Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper, who oversees Kodak's Chapter 11 case, said at a hearing it would be an "inappropriate way forward" to allow Apple to continue pursuing claims against Kodak while the company is in bankruptcy. The infringement claims center on a Kodak patent that lets consumers preview digital photographs on LCD screens. Judge Gropper also denied Apple's request to file a new patent infringement lawsuit against Kodak over printer and digital camera patents.
