FCC fines eight DJI front firms in crackdown on disguised drone gear

The FCC has fined eight companies tied to DJI $25,000 each for not answering agency inquiries, part of a broader push to curb ‘front’ brands marketing DJI gear in the United States. The agency also added foreign drone makers to its Covered List, enabling retroactive bans on devices that use DJI radios; the FCC is seeking information on whether these brands are marketing radio equipment in the US, with no responses yet. The Verge’s reporting on Xtra and Skyrover is cited, and questions remain about clone products and the fate of related test labs (SGS CTST) connected to Chinese ownership.”,

Alibaba pushes to shed US defense label on Chinese firm list

Alibaba filed a petition in the Northern District of California asking a federal court to remove the Pentagon’s designation of Alibaba as a Chinese military company from the DoD list that bars such entities from U.S. defense contracts, arguing the label has no factual or legal basis and was issued without fair process. The case follows broader tensions over the DoD’s 188-entity list, which Beijing and several companies have protested, and comes as other firms like DJI and WuXi AppTec challenge their own designations. Alibaba says it operates with an independent board and has no military affiliation, countering DoD claims of indirect state links through China’s SASAC and other ministries.

Insta360 Strikes Back With Five-Patent Counterclaims Against DJI

Insta360 filed two countersuits against DJI in the U.S., alleging five utility patents covering gimbal stabilization, directional control, camera smooth stabilization, telemetry overlays, and panoramic video stabilization are infringed across DJI products such as the Osmo Pocket, Ronin/RS, Osmo Mobile, and Osmo 360. The move comes in response to DJI’s separate design and utility patent lawsuits over Insta360’s Luna Ultra, which Insta360 says was independently developed and not based on DJI technology, and seeks to defend its intellectual property.

DJI files two US patent suits accusing Insta360 of copying Osmo Pocket 4P

DJI has filed two US lawsuits accusing Insta360 of infringing its design and utility patents with the Luna Ultra, arguing it closely copies the Osmo Pocket 4P. The design-patent claim covers the elongated handheld body and overall gimbal layout, while four utility patents address features like single-control mode switching, integrated subject tracking with a built-in display, image-driven gimbal commands, and a self-contained tracking system. DJI previously sued Insta360 in China over alleged employee poaching and stolen R&D. It remains to be seen whether the claims will yield an injunction to halt Luna Ultra sales in the US.

DJI Rebrands Osmo Pocket 4P in the U.S. as Xtra Muse 2 Pro to Navigate Regulation

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P cannot launch in the U.S. due to regulatory hurdles, including lack of FCC certification and listing on the FCC’s covered list for national security concerns. DJI appears to release a nearly identical device, the Xtra Muse 2 Pro, under a different brand to maintain U.S. access. Both devices share features like a vertical dual-camera system, 4K slow-motion, 10-bit D-log, ActiveTrack 7.0, and substantial built-in storage, with DJI’s stronger aftersales network potentially influencing buyer decisions. The move illustrates how companies adapt branding to regulatory constraints while continuing to serve key markets.
