Custodial history
Scope and content
Item is a Kodomatic instant camera with an electronic flash. Has faceplate attached; rare, as in 1976 Polaroid launched a lawsuit against Eastman Kodak for patent infringement. After a fifteen year legal battle, Polaroid won and Kodak wrote them a check for $925 million, which was the largest settlement ever paid in a patent trial and Judge Rya Sobel barred the company from the instant-photo business. Due a class-action suit, Kodak then had to buy back the cameras for as it could no longer supply film so it offered a refund for customers if they mailed in the faceplate.
