FujiFilm Takes Legal Action Against Inventor Accusing Cameras of Technology Infringement

FujiFilm North America Corp. has requested a federal judge to confirm that the image-distortion correction features in its digital cameras do not violate patented technology owned by a California inventor. The camera maker was sued by Optimum Imaging Technologies LLC last year for alleged patent infringement, and FujiFilm NA is now seeking a declaratory judgment to clarify that their products do not infringe any patents.

The complaint was filed on May 31 in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. FujiFilm NA claims that they have the right to manufacture and sell digital cameras with the digital lens aberration correction technology without needing a license from Optimum Imaging Technologies LLC. According to the company, their products do not infringe any patents owned by the plaintiff.

Neal Solomon, the founder of Optimum Imaging Technologies, initiated the lawsuit against FujiFilm NA. Solomon had accused the camera maker of violating his patented technology related to image-distortion correction features in digital cameras. However, FujiFilm NA is seeking legal clarification to show that their products are not infringing on any patents owned by Optimum Imaging Technologies LLC.
