Why It Matters
Insta360 has launched its first dual-lens gimbal camera, the Luna Ultra, entering a market segment where DJI is a dominant player. This move has immediately led to legal action from DJI.
Insta360正式跨足雲台相機市場，近日推出首款雙鏡頭雲台相機Luna Ultra，不過新機才剛上市，隨即捲入專利爭議。DJI已向美國德州法院對Insta360提起兩起訴訟，指控Luna系列侵犯其外觀設計與功能專利。
控告外觀設計和功能侵權
其中一項訴訟聚焦外觀設計。DJI認為，Luna系列侵犯Osmo Pocket系列的兩項產品外型專利，甚至在訴狀中直指，Luna採用了「由DJI Osmo Pocket率先開創的相同產品架構」。
另一項訴訟則針對四項功能專利，內容涵蓋一鍵切換雲台模式、自動偵測與追蹤主體、利用畫面資訊控制雲台，以及無須App即可運作的獨立追蹤系統。DJI更在訴狀中強硬表示，Insta360公然且全面地複製DJI的專利技術」，並向法院請求損害賠償金、返還侵權所得利潤，以及禁止相關產品銷售。
DJI最早在今年4月的美國廣播電視展NAB Show，首度亮相Luna系列雲台相機。從訴訟內容來看，DJI似乎自當時起便開始蒐集相關證據並規劃法律行動，直到Luna Ultra正式上市後，便立即提告。此外，Insta360當時在NAB Show除了展示雙鏡頭的Luna Ultra，也同步亮相單鏡頭版本Luna Pro，但目前尚未公布正式開賣資訊。
事實上，這並非DJI首次對Insta360提告。稍早DJI也曾在中國提起專利訴訟，指控Insta360侵犯其無人機影像技術相關專利。
