Insta360 Issues Statement on U.S. ITC Initial Determination
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – The judge found Insta360 infringed GoPro’s patents on camera design and stabilization technology, with a final ruling expected by November 10, 2025.
- A U.S. International Trade Commission Administrative Law Judge issued an Initial Determination today ruling that Insta360 infringed on two GoPro patents in the United States.
- This legal action follows GoPro's complaint filed last May alleging multiple patent violations, including design and video stabilization technologies, with the full ITC final decision expected by November 10, 2025.
- While the ALJ found that Insta360 infringed GoPro's Hero camera design and HyperSmooth stabilization patents, the ITC rejected several of GoPro's utility patent claims as invalid or not infringed.
- Insta360 continues to sell products in the U.S. and challenges GoPro patents via inter partes review petitions and parallel litigation in China, with CEO JK Liu stating, "The future belongs to innovators, not litigators."
- The Initial Determination does not yet mandate product removal, but if upheld, it could significantly impact Insta360's U.S. sales and highlights ongoing patent disputes in the competitive action camera market.
