GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) prevailed in a patent infringement lawsuit after a federal court invalidated all patent claims and vacated an $8.2 million damages award.

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled on May 14, 2026, that the sole remaining valid patent claim was invalid as obvious, according to a company filing. The court granted GoPro's motion for judgment as a matter of law regarding claim 11 of U.S. Patent No. 8,890,954.

The case, filed by non-practicing entity Contour IP Holding LLC and its affiliates, alleged patent infringement of GoPro's camera products across various federal district courts. A jury trial concluded on October 10, 2025, initially finding that GoPro's products launched from 2020 to 2024, including HERO9 Black to HERO13 Black models, did not infringe two asserted patents.

The jury had invalidated one patent claim entirely while finding another independent claim valid but determining a related dependent claim invalid. The jury awarded Contour IP Holding $8.2 million in damages for certain legacy products no longer manufactured or sold by GoPro.

Following the jury verdict, both parties filed post-trial motions challenging aspects of the decision. The court's subsequent order vacated the entire $8.2 million award and denied all of Contour IP Holding's post-trial motions, including requests for judgment as a matter of law and a new trial.

With all asserted claims of both patents now found invalid, GoPro faces no liability from the case. The court's ruling remains subject to potential appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
