DJI sues Insta360 for how similar the Luna Ultra is to the Osmo Pocket 4P | Infinium-tech

A few days ago, Insta360 made its DJI Osmo Pocket 4P competitor in the Luna Ultra official, and now DJI is launching not one but two lawsuits against Insta360, accusing it of patent infringement. The lawsuits were filed in the US, perhaps because DJI feels it has a better chance of winning there.

In its first lawsuit, DJI accuses Insta360 of infringing its design patents by producing and selling the Luna series, which DJI says closely copies its own designs for the Osmo Pocket line. The similarity is obvious from a mile away, but whether it’s enough to get DJI its coveted injunction that would stop sales of the Insta360 Luna line in the US remains to be seen.

DJI specifically mentions the “decorative design” described in one of its patents, which includes a “long handheld body, a neck connecting the body to the gimbal arm connection point, the gimbal assembly and the camera”, a “module on top, rotatable display and bezel, scroll wheel and record button in the bottom control section, side-mounted accessory slot and port opening on the base”, covered by another patent.

In the second lawsuit, DJI cites four utility patents granted to it that it alleges Insta360 infringes. One of these describes “a control device for a gimbal that allows switching between follow and locked modes via a single control”, the second is about “a handheld gimbal with integrated subject tracking and real-time display, eliminating the need for a separate app”, the third is about “a gimbal control method where the device’s own image of a target drives the gimbal’s motor commands”, and the fourth is about “a handheld gimbal with integrated subject tracking and real-time display”, A self-contained system for displaying Gimbal’s Screen”.

Earlier this year, DJI sued Insta360 in China, alleging it poached former DJI employees and used stolen research and development to file drone-related patents.
