Fuji Photo to bring forward LCD film investment - Boston.com (443 words)
Fuji Photo said it would aim to get a new factory for triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film in Kumamoto prefecture, southern Japan, up and running in October, two months ahead of schedule, to meet strong demand amid rising sales of LCD TVs.
Fuji Photo is investing aggressively in LCD film and other flat panel display materials to spur growth and offset businesses in decline such as photographic film.
Fuji Photo had said that it planned to have six lines up and running by 2010 at a total cost of about 100 billion yen ($850 million), but to date it has not given specific details about the plants.
No. 01-1376: Fuji Photo Film Co. v. Jazz Photo Corp. - Opposition (3141 words)
At the factory, a roll of film is placed in the casing, the casing is made "light-tight" by ultrasonic welding, and a cardboard cover is placed over the casing.
Fuji filed a complaint with the ITC alleging that 27 companies, including Jazz Photo, had infringed its 15 patents (twelve utility and three design) relating to disposable cameras.
Thus, if we assume that one could repair a disposable camera by reloading the film, one should be permitted (for that purpose only) to use the patented method-i.e., inserting film in a darkroom-or the right of repair would be meaningless because the repair could not be practiced.
