Here is a short recap of the GoPro vs. Insta360 lawsuit results:
- Insta360 won decisively on the tech patents: The ITC ruled no violation on all five utility patents (covering stabilization, horizon leveling, distortion correction, etc.).
- GoPro won narrowly on design: The ITC found infringement of GoPro’s HERO camera body design patent — but only on certain older/legacy Insta360 Ace models. Newer/current Insta360 cameras (including 2025+ versions) do not infringe.
- Practical outcome: Limited Exclusion Order + Cease & Desist Order issued against the specific legacy models only. No impact on Insta360’s current product lineup or U.S. sales/import of new cameras.
- Next steps: Orders subject to 60-day Presidential Review (still ongoing). GoPro could appeal the utility-patent losses, but none have been filed yet.
- Recap: Both sides claimed victory in their press releases, but the ruling is widely seen as a big win for Insta360 on the core innovation issues. The case is effectively over for current products.
