It's not the same company. Polaroid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy over ten years ago and has changed several holdership/controlling hands ever since. But it wouldn't have mattered anyway, Polaroid, like Kodak, were stuck in old school film mentality and failed to embrace the digital revolution in photography starting in the late 1990s. Ironically, the makers of digital cameras that left Kodak and Polaroid eating their dust are seeing major cuts in their point-and-shoot market now as smart phones get better and better equipped to not only take pictures, but movies.
