In terms of patent litigation, GoPro, Inc. demonstrates an active posture as both a patent asserter and a defendant. While the provided case data lists GoPro with one plaintiff case and no defendant cases, wider searches reveal its involvement in defensive litigation as well. The tracked case, GoPro, Inc. v. Insta360, was filed in 2024-05-06 with the International Trade Commission (ITC), a venue often utilized for disputes involving imported goods.

In the ITC case against Insta360, an Administrative Law Judge initially found infringement on two of GoPro's patents, specifically a design patent and its HyperSmooth video stabilization technology, though many of GoPro's utility patent claims were found invalid or not infringed. Subsequently, the ITC issued a limited exclusion order for certain older models of Insta360's Ace series based on the design patent, while affirming that updated models fell outside the scope of GoPro's asserted design patent and finding no violation for five utility patents. Beyond this, GoPro has also defended itself in other patent infringement suits, including a successfully defended $174 million claim from non-practicing entity (NPE) Contour IP Holding, LLC in a California federal court, where a jury found non-infringement and invalidity of claims, and a settlement with DigiMedia Tech, LLC in Delaware. GoPro recently initiated a strategic review process, including a potential sale or merger, amidst competitive pressures in the action camera market.
