It must be tough to value patents. The discrepancy is huge and may be more due to Kodak's wishful thinking than to value. Also they are probably already obsolete, since innovation moves fast in the computer/electronics/software world.
I have looked a several press manufacturer patents over the years and I have to say, they are probably worthless. Many would not work and those that might, solving the problem in a different way is not too much of a stretch. For press manufacturers, who would they sell their patents to anyways. Not likely other press manufacturers.
Inventors tend to over value their efforts, while the market does not normally care. I suspect the value of patents in the high tech communications industry have a better chance of obtaining value. Any patents that are based on advanced science has more chance of being marketable. Patents based on stupidity might have some problems.
