US EditionU.S. International Trade Commission Reaffirms GoPro's Patent Claim, Prevents Importation of Insta360's Infringing Products
The ITC found infringement only on a design patent for legacy Insta360 Ace models, allowing current products to remain in the U.S. market after presidential review.
- On Feb. 26, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission issued a final determination in Investigation No. 337-TA-1400, finding infringement of one GoPro design patent and issuing an exclusion order subject to presidential review.
- GoPro accused Insta360 of copying both the cameras' look and the 'brains' inside, asserting five utility patents against the rival.
- The Commission cleared Insta360 on five utility patents, finding them invalid or not infringed, and reversed the Administrative Law Judge's prior infringement findings on the '052 and '840 patents.
- For U.S. buyers, the ruling means Insta360's current lineup remains available without restriction, as the import ban targets only legacy Ace-series models.
- Despite the narrow design win, observers note Insta360's independent development and innovation claims prove it retains market strength by continuing U.S. sales.
