GoPro Triumphs as Insta360 Cameras Face U.S. Import Ban

## Summary

The U.S. International Trade Commission found that certain cameras and accessories from Arashi Vision (Insta360) violate GoPro’s design patent. As a result, the Commission is blocking these products from entering the U.S. and ordering the company to stop selling them here. This means Insta360 must act fast or face legal and financial consequences, while GoPro scores a big win in protecting its tech.

## Abstract

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined to find a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, with respect to U.S. Design Patent No. D789,435 ("the D'435 patent") in the above-captioned investigation, and to find no violation of section 337 for U.S. Patent Nos. 10,958,840 ("the '840 patent") and 10,529,052 ("the '052 patent"). The Commission has determined that the appropriate remedy is the issuance of a limited exclusion order ("LEO") and a cease and desist order ("CDO"). The investigation is hereby terminated.
