Exhibit 99.2
ITC Determines Infringement of GoPro’s Iconic HERO Camera Design
San Mateo, Calif., July 11, 2025 – Today GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced a United States Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) of the International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington, D.C. issued an Initial Determination, finding that China-based Insta360 violated federal law by importing and selling in the United States products that infringe GoPro intellectual property covering GoPro’s iconic HERO camera design.
GoPro is pleased with the ALJ’s findings that Insta360 infringed on a patent covering GoPro’s iconic HERO camera design (US Patent D789,435), as well as its validation of multiple patent claims covering GoPro’s industry-leading HyperSmooth video stabilization (US Patent 10,574,894 and 10,958,840).
In addition, GoPro intends to brief other outstanding issues in its infringement case against Insta360 with the full Commission. The ITC is expected to issue its Final Determination on all of GoPro’s infringement claims against Insta360 by November 10, 2025.
This litigation process has strengthened GoPro’s intellectual property portfolio and underscores GoPro’s history of category-defining innovation, which has resulted in more than 1,500 US patents.
“GoPro welcomes fair competition as it drives us to innovate, but we will litigate to protect our IP when we believe it is being infringed,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro’s Founder and CEO. “We have been an American innovator and market leader for twenty-three years, and we will not sit idle while we believe others unjustly take advantage of our hard work, investment and innovation.”
