SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the 
U.S. International Trade Commission on March 29, 2024, under section 
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, on behalf of GoPro, Inc. of 
San Mateo, California. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 
based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain cameras, camera systems, and accessories used therewith by 
reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 
10,015,413 (``the '413 patent''); U.S. Patent No. 10,529,052 (``the 
'052 patent''); U.S. Patent No. 10,574,894 (``the '894 patent''); U.S. 
Patent No. 10,958,840 (``the '840 patent''); U.S. Patent No. 11,336,832 
(``the '832 patent''); and U.S. Design Patent No. D789,435 (``the D'435 
patent''). The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United 
States exists as required by the applicable Federal Statute. The 
complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation 
and, after the investigation, issue a limited exclusion order and cease 
and desist orders.
