WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. International
Trade Commission said on Wednesday it was launching a trade
investigation into claims by GoPro Inc GPRO.O that its camera
and camera systems patents were violated by a Chinese company
importing similar products into the U.S.
In a public notice, the USITC said the probe under Section
337 of the Trade Act of 1930 applies to respondents Arashi
Vision, the Shenzhen, China-based company that makes the
Insta360 line of camera products. GoPro has requested that the
trade panel issue exclusion and cease and desist orders that
would ban imports of the Insta360 products as a result of the
probe.
