Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Since 2015, non-practicing entity Contour IP Holding LLC (“CIPH”) and its affiliates have filed lawsuits against GoPro, Inc. (the “Company”) in various federal district courts alleging patent infringement of the Company’s camera products. Following litigation before federal district courts, the Federal Circuit, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a trial for Contour IP Holding, LLC v. GoPro, Inc. (Case No. 3:17-cv-04738-WHO) commenced on September 29, 2025 before the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”).
On October 10, 2025, a jury returned a verdict. The jury concluded that none of the Company’s products commercially launched from 2020 – 2024, including HERO9 Black to HERO13 Black, infringe the two asserted patents. Additionally, the jury invalidated the only asserted claim of one of the two patents. With respect to the other asserted patent, the jury found one independent claim valid, but also determined that the related dependent claim is invalid.
With respect to certain legacy cameras that the Court previously found to infringe, the jury awarded CIPH $8,200,000 in past damages. Based on the jury’s findings of non-infringement and invalidity, none of the Company’s products introduced in or after 2020 are subject to the damages award. The verdict is subject to post-trial briefing and appeal. No judgment has been entered.
