The actual complaint: https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/Monumen...

Looks like a patent troll (it's not Kodak, it's "MONUMENT PEAK VENTURES, LLC") who thinks they have patents covering basically anything that uses computer vision segmentation.

Kodak sold its digital imaging patent portfolio, about 1,100 patents, in 2012 to get out of bankruptcy: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-kodak-patent-sale-idUSBRE.... It looks like this company’s parent company now owns the portfolio.

Yeah. Point 8 in that has:

    MPV owns a portfolio of patents invented by the Eastman Kodak Company.  Since
    acquiring the Kodak portfolio, MPV has promoted adoption of technologies
    claimed in Kodak portfolio and has entered into license agreements with over
    thirty companies.
