Insta360 Camera Company Cleared to Continue US Sales After Trade Dispute

Chinese camera manufacturer Arashi Vision can continue selling its Insta360 products in the United States without limitations following a federal trade commission decision. The ruling ends a patent dispute with GoPro that began in 2024.

A Chinese technology company that manufactures Insta360 cameras announced Friday it can continue selling its products across the United States following a favorable decision from federal trade officials.

Arashi Vision, headquartered in Shenzhen, stated it “will continue to import and sell existing products in the U.S. without restrictions” after receiving the final determination from the U.S. International Trade Commission.

The resolution comes after California-based GoPro filed patent infringement allegations last year, arguing that Arashi Vision was bringing competing camera products, systems and accessories into the American market that violated GoPro’s intellectual property rights. This complaint prompted the U.S. International Trade Commission to open a formal investigation under Section 337 of the Trade Act of 1930, examining both Arashi Vision and its American subsidiary.

The commission released its final determination on Thursday, officially closing the investigation. In a statement filed with the Shanghai stock exchange on Friday, Arashi Vision reported that the completed investigation resulted in “no substantial impact on the company’s production and operations.”
