As you may recall, back in 2024, GoPro filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission against Insta360 parent company Arashi Vision. In its complaint, GoPro alleged that the latter company had infringed upon some of its patents. In July 2025, the ITC issued an initial determination that mostly found in Insta360's favor.
However, that wasn't the end of the road; indeed, the ITC needed more time to issue a final determination, and said as much. On February 26, 2026, it finally issued that determination, which prompted both GoPro and Insta360 to issue press releases declaring their own personal (and complete, natch) victory in the fight.
That might be nice for someone's ego, but unfortunately the language included in both press releases isn't particularly useful or helpful to the many US-based action camera users who are probably wondering how this news affects them, as well as their ability to purchase new action cameras, to use action cameras they may already have, and/or to obtain parts and service for those cameras.
