Hot on the heels of Strava filing a lawsuit against Garmin that claims the American tech company infringed on several decade-old patents relating to segments and heatmaps, Finnish smartwatch manufacturer Suunto has coincidentally filed a suit against Garmin, claiming that it has also infringed on several patents, first reported by the Garmin rumours website.
Suunto is claiming damages and a court injunction that would forbid Garmin from selling devices that use the patented technology. This would effectively limit the sale of much of Garmin’s watch lineup.
