Kodak and Nokia sign idea share deal

But Motorola deal not affected


29 October 2008 16:08 GMT / By Katie Scott

Nokia phones with advanced photo technology from Kodak could be on the cards.

The two manufacturers have announced a patent license agreement which means that they will have access to each other’s intellectual property portfolio.

No financial details have been published.

Kodak already has a similar agreement with Nokia's rival, Motorola.

The deal was signed 2 years ago, and is to run for a total of 10 years.

A Kodak spokesman told Pocket-lint that this new Nokia agreement will not affect the relationship between Kodak and Motorola, whose collaboration led to the release of the ZN5 mobile phone, with its 5-megapixel sensor.

He told us: "In the technology world, lots of people talk to lots of other people".
