Ricoh Company Ltd. and its lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan failed Thursday in their attempt to knock out a portion of the $75.8 million the company owes Eastman Kodak Company in a patent licensing dispute.

U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan refused to vacate a jury’s verdict in October that Ricoh’s Pentax brand of digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras fall within the scope of its licensing agreement with Kodak. As we previously reported, that verdict was worth at least $22.8 million to Kodak.
