Photography pioneer Eastman Kodak Co sued Apple Inc to stop it from interfering with plans to sell a large patent portfolio, a significant part of its bankruptcy restructuring.

Kodak announced plans in February to phase out of the consumer camera business. As part of its massive bankruptcy restructuring, the company sought to sell digital imaging patents. Apple tried to sue Kodak to stop the sale of those patents, but a judge blocked their attempt.
