EK leitet den Turnaround durch Patentverkauf ein
As filmmakers switch to digital technology, Fuji (FUJIY) announced in September that it will stop making motion picture film by March 2013. While Eastman Kodak (EKDKQ) still manufactures it, the troubled company has cut back on film products, reported the Atlantic.

Nichtöffentliche Versteigerung
Kodak will die Patente in einem nichtöffentlichen Verfahren versteigern. Anfang des Monats hatte das zuständige New Yorker Insolvenzgericht die Erlaubnis dazu erteilt. Bei einer solchen Auktion bleiben Bieter und ihre Gebote geheim. Am Ende wird lediglich bekanntgegeben, wer den Zuschlag erhalten hat und wie hoch das erfolgreiche Gebot war.
Bisher sollen rund ****20 Interessenten**** eine Verschwiegenheitsvereinbarung mit Kodak geschlossen haben, wie das Wall Street Journal unter Berufung auf einen Informanten berichtet. Es wird erwartet, dass ein Großteil von ihnen auch ein Gebot für das Patentpaket abgeben wird.

Consortium organized by Intellectual Ventures and RPX Corporation to pay approximately $525 million for purchase and licenses of patents
Builds on Kodak’s momentum toward a successful emergence in the first half of 2013
Company Website: http://www.kodak.com
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)
Eastman Kodak Company has completed a series of agreements that successfully monetizes its digital imaging patents.
The proposed transaction, which achieves one of Kodak’s key restructuring objectives, follows other recent major accomplishments that include an agreement for interim and exit financing for the company’s emergence from its Chapter 11 restructuring, and resolution of U.S. retiree non-pension benefits liabilities. Kodak’s monetization of IP assets further builds on its momentum toward a successful emergence in the first half of 2013.
Under the agreements, Kodak will receive approximately $525 million, a portion of which will be paid by 12 intellectual property licensees organized by Intellectual Ventures and RPX Corporation, with each licensee receiving rights with respect to the digital imaging patent portfolio and certain other Kodak patents. Another portion will be paid by Intellectual Ventures, which is acquiring the digital imaging patent portfolio subject to these new licenses, as well as previously existing licenses.
“This monetization of patents is another major milestone toward successful emergence,” Antonio M. Perez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said. “Our progress has accelerated over the past several weeks as we prepare to emerge as a strong, sustainable company. This proposed transaction enables Kodak to repay a substantial amount of our initial DIP loan, satisfy a key condition for our new financing facility, and position our Commercial Imaging business for further growth and success.”
The transaction enables the company to continue innovating in its core Commercial Imaging technologies that are fundamental to its future. Commercial Imaging is a business in which Kodak has significant competitive advantages and strong growth prospects.
“Kodak remains a major center of invention and innovation,” Perez said.
The transaction also includes an agreement to settle current patent-related litigation between the participants and Kodak, which avoids additional litigation costs and helps to ensure that management and the company’s resources focus on enhancing the operations of its core future businesses.
The proposed transaction is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the satisfaction of certain customary conditions.

Bankrupt Eastman Kodak to sell patents for $525 million
Reuters) - Bankrupt camera maker Eastman Kodak Co agreed to sell its digital imaging patents for about $525 million to a consortium led by Intellectual Ventures and RPX Corp, a key step to ending its bankruptcy.
The photography pioneer said a portion of the payment will come from 12 intellectual property licensees organized by Intellectual Ventures and RPX Corporation.
A sale of the roughly 1,100 patents, which Kodak has said could be worth as much as $2.6 billion, has been a key element of the Rochester, New York-based company's plans to shift its focus to commercial packaging and printing from photography.
The agreements are subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
The Kodak bankruptcy case is in Re: Eastman Kodak Co. et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-10202.
