The topic DJI is suing Insta360, and you can probably guess why (Updated: Insta360 countersues)<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been less than a day since Insta360 launched its\u00a0brand-new\u00a0Luna Ultra vlogging camera, and the company is already facing a lawsuit from DJI \u2014 actually, two of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

DJI has filed lawsuits in a Texas District Court, alleging multiple patent infringements and violations, according to the data a report from PetaPixel.<\/p>\n

In the first lawsuit, the company alleges that Insta360 has infringed on design patents held by DJI. Since the Luna Ultra has a design similar to that of DJI\u2019s Osmo Pocket series, DJI says Insta360 is using \u201cthe same product architecture pioneered by the DJI Osmo Pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n

It further adds that the \u201cornamental design\u201d of the Insta360 Luna Pro and Ultra is similar to the design patented by DJI. The lawsuit alleges that pretty much everything about the Insta360 Luna Ultra\u2019s and Pro\u2019s design is covered by two separate patents held by DJI.<\/p>\n

DJI\u2019s lawsuit states that Insta360 is in violation of its patent, \u201cwhich includes without limitation the elongated handheld body, neck connecting the body to the gimbal arm connection point, gimbal assembly and camera module at the top, rotatable display and bezel, lower control section housing the scroll wheel and record button, side-mounted accessory slot, and the port opening at the base.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company has also filed a second lawsuit, which alleges that Insta360 is in violation of four of DJI\u2019s utility patents. The first patent describes a control device that allows a gimbal to switch between locked and follow modes with a single button. The second patent describes a method for a gimbal to detect and track a subject.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The third patent describes a control method in which the device uses the image it captures to provide gimbal commands for movement and subject tracking. The final patent describes a \u201cself-contained system for tracking a subject and displaying the image, without the need for a separate application.\u201d<\/p>\n

DJI is asking the court to order Insta360 to pay damages, a share of Insta360\u2019s profits, and supplemental damages, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time DJI has sued Insta360, either. The company earlier filed a lawsuit against Insta360 alleging patent infringement of DJI\u2019s drone-based imaging tech. However, that lawsuit was filed in China.<\/p>\n
