DJI sues Insta360 over similarities with the Luna Ultra and Osmo Pocket 4P, Insta360 countersues

Recently DJI sued Insta360 about how similar the Insta360 Luna Ultra looked compared to the Osmo Pocket 4P. A few days later, Insta360 countersued DJI for gimbal and other tech patent infringements. If you didn’t know already, both companies make stabilizing gimbals widely used to record videos, which include the Luna Ultra and Osmo Pocket 4P.

According to DJI, they are suing Insta360 over the design of the Luna series which they say copies their designs for the Osmo Pocket series. They have also filed a second lawsuit regarding 4 utility patents such as the control device and system. They are seeking a permanent ban on Luna Ultra in the US.

According to Insta360, they are countersuing DJI over 2 patents, namely gimbal stabilization and 360° camera technologies. They also denied any wrongdoing about the Luna Ultra and have said that it is the result of “years of independent R&D”.

Both lawsuits are mainly for the US market and don’t affect Malaysia, but what do you think? Are you on DJI’s side or Insta360’s, or neither? Share your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave.com
