A jury in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has found that GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) did not infringe two asserted patents with its camera products launched from 2020 to 2024, according to a press release statement contained in a recent SEC filing. The action camera maker, currently valued at $330.6 million, has seen its stock surge over 313% in the past six months, though InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently fairly valued.

The verdict, delivered on October 10, 2025, relates to the case Contour IP Holding, LLC v. GoPro, Inc. (Case No. 3:17-cv-04738-WHO), which has been ongoing since 2015. The jury determined that GoPro’s HERO9 Black through HERO13 Black cameras do not infringe the two patents at issue. Additionally, the jury invalidated the only asserted claim of one of the patents and found one independent claim of the other patent valid, while a related dependent claim was found invalid.

For certain legacy GoPro cameras, which the court had previously found to infringe, the jury awarded Contour IP Holding LLC $8.2 million in past damages. The filing states that none of GoPro’s products introduced in or after 2020 are subject to the damages award.

The company noted that the verdict is subject to post-trial briefing and appeal, and no judgment has been entered at this time.

GoPro’s Class A common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol GPRO. All information is based on a press release statement included in the company’s SEC Form 8-K filing.
