On September 18, 2007, the California State Court set the California Action for trial beginning on January 7, 2008. The trial is now in progress. On January 19, 2007, St. Clair filed an action in the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC") asserting that Kodak infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 5,138,459, 6,094,219, 6,233,010, 6,323,899, and 6,496,222. On February 22, 2007, Kodak moved to stay St. Clair's ITC case pending the determination of ownership of the patents by the court in the California Action. On May 11, 2007, the Administrative Law Judge issued Order No. 7 staying the ITC action pending resolution of ownership in the California Action. The ITC action remains stayed.
