Kodak and Sony settle digital camera patent lawsuits by cross-licensing each other's technology
Kodak sued Sony back in 2004, claiming that Sony had infringed on it's patents on digital camera technology. Since then, Kodak and Sony have been counter suing for the control of 10 patents. Sony and Kodak have officially settled by starting a cross licensing agreement, so that both companies have the rights to use the same technology.

Samsung has overtaken Sony in every segment? When did Samsung start making video game consoles? Do they even make digital cameras? I wouldn't buy a Samsung notebook over a Sony on a dare.
I will agree that Sony doesn't always have the best products on the market, but their products aren't inferier in any market. Sometimes they are overpriced, I will give you that, but when you can find a deal on them, they are great. The same holds true with every electronics manufacturer out there though.
