US EditionStrava Drops Its Lawsuit Against Garmin – so It Looks Like All Your Features Are Here to Stay (for Now)
Strava dropped its patent infringement suit against Garmin without prejudice, leaving the option to refile and allowing Garmin devices to remain on sale for now.
- On October 21, Strava, the fitness app, filed an update saying it `voluntarily dismisses` its lawsuit against Garmin, the smartwatch maker.
- Speculation online ties the suit to Strava's IPO slated for 2026, with observers suggesting it aimed to build an intellectual-property library for revenue.
- Patent claims target heatmap and segment features, while rival watch-maker Suunto has also sued Garmin for unrelated reasons; Suunto Race 2 earned a 4.5-star review.
- For now, Garmin users can expect features that could infringe Strava's patents to remain, and Garmin devices will be available during Black Friday promotions.
- Dismissing the case without prejudice means Strava could refile later, and the companies appear to have settled behind the scenes for now.
