Insta360 Secures Complete Victory in ITC Final Ruling
Insta360,
trading as Arashi Vision Inc. (688775.SS), secured a complete victory in
Investigation No. 337-TA-1400 as the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
issued a final determination in favour of the innovative 360 camera company.
The Commission cleared Insta360
with respect to five utility patents relating to stabilization, horizon
leveling, distortion correction, and aspect ratio conversion, confirming that
the patents were invalid, not infringed, or both. The Commission also reversed
the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)'s prior finding of infringement as to the
'052 patent relating to distortion and found additional non-infringement as to
the '840 patent relating to stabilization.
In addition, the ALJ's determination that Insta360's updated
product designs fall outside the scope of GoPro's asserted design patent stands
and is now final.
As a result of the Commission's
ruling, Insta360 will continue to import and sell its existing product lineup
in the United States without restriction.
"The ITC's dy combining Ericsson’s Private 5G and Edge
platforms with NTT DATA’s full-stack enterprise network services, wireless
network expertise, IT/OT security and managed services, the companies will
deliver industry-ready solutions that help enterprises deploy private 5G
networks and deliver business outcomes at a global scale with confidence. ecision reaffirms what the industry has long recognised: Insta360's technology
is built on true innovation. The facts spoke for themselves," said JK Liu,
Founder of Insta360. "True innovators compete by building better tools.
The ITC's decision allows us to continue doing what we do best: empowering
users with bold, boundary-pushing technology."
"The future of this industry should be shaped by better
products, not legal tactics that protect market share at the expense of
consumers. Too often, successful companies are targeted by patent litigation
from competitors looking to reclaim lost ground. What the industry needs is an
environment where the best ideas prevail, not legal manoeuvring. Only when
innovation can compete freely will the entire ecosystem move forward."
The ITC's final determination is a total rebuke of Insta360's
competitors' efforts to use meritless patent assertions to improperly block
lawful competition. The evidentiary record developed during the investigation
demonstrated that Insta360 independently developed its technology and that
GoPro's allegations lacked merit. The Commission's final determination
represents a complete resolution of the investigation in Insta360's favour
