Short Summary
Arashi Vision Inc. (Insta360) has challenged GoPro's video stabilization patent via an IPR petition, arguing that the claims are obvious.
Detailed Summary
The petitioner asserts that the claimed features of the patent—specifically those related to trajectory smoothing using look-ahead buffers and incorporating specific parameters for low-light performance—are unpatentable over existing technology. The challenge relies on combining multiple prior art references, including Zhou, Cai, Karpenko, Sokeila, and Bell Paper, to demonstrate that a Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art would have found these combinations predictable within the field of video stabilization.
