when kodak announced instant film cameras in 1976, polaroid announced they were suing them, accusing kodak of having stolen its patented instant photography process. in the two years that followed the lawsuit, total sales of instant cameras climbed from 7.4 million cameras in 1976 to 10.3 million in 1977 and 14.3 million in 1978. the suit in federal court lasted 10 years. polaroid asked for $12 billion for infringements of its patents by kodak. the court ruled in favor of polaroid, and ordered kodak to cease instant picture production, plus pay polaroid $909.5 million of the $12 billion it had asked for.
