Arashi Vision Inc. (d/b/a Insta360)

Company overview. Arashi Vision Inc. (影石创新科技股份有限公司), which does business as Insta360, is a Shenzhen-based imaging-equipment maker. The operating entity was incorporated in Shenzhen on July 9, 2015 (some databases date the founding to 2014), and the company was reorganized into a joint-stock company in 2020. It listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market on June 11, 2025 under ticker 688775; founder Liu Jingkang remains the controlling shareholder, with institutional backers including Qiming Venture Partners and IDG Capital. Public sources put headcount near 3,950 (PitchBook; FT) and trailing-twelve-month revenue around RMB 10.9bn / US$1.66bn (FT, PitchBook).

Products / operations. Arashi Vision develops and sells consumer and professional smart-imaging hardware under the Insta360 brand: 360-degree panoramic cameras (X series), action cameras (Ace/GO lines), professional VR and video-conferencing cameras, gimbal/stabilization accessories, and — more recently — the Antigravity A1 8K panoramic drone. It sells through its own channels and retail partners (Apple Store, Best Buy, Costco, Media Markt and others) in more than 50 countries, with overseas revenue a majority of the total. This is a genuine operating manufacturer, not a patent-assertion entity.

Patent-litigation posture. Arashi Vision is an active two-way litigant, consistent with the case data (2 plaintiff-side, 1 defendant-side). It is the defendant in GoPro's Section 337 complaint at the USITC and in a parallel Central District of California suit, while simultaneously acting as plaintiff in PTAB inter partes reviews challenging GoPro's patents and in patent-infringement suits filed in Chinese courts. None of the tracked matters sit in the Eastern District of Texas; the venues here are the ITC and PTAB.

Notable cases. The tracked defendant matter is GoPro, Inc. v. Arashi Vision Inc. d/b/a Insta360 (USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1400, filed March 29, 2024), asserting five utility patents plus design patent D789,435. The plaintiff-side entries are Arashi Vision Inc. d/b/a Insta360 v. GoPro, Inc. PTAB petitions filed June and July 2024. The Commission terminated the investigation on February 26, 2026; per the company's SSE filing, all six GoPro patent challenges were resolved in its favor or through non-infringing redesigns, though GoPro retains appeal rights.
