During closing trial arguments on Wednesday, Contour IP Holding LLC's counsel informed a California federal jury that GoPro Inc. infringed on patented video camera technology and should compensate $174 million in damages. In response, GoPro's attorney argued that the action camera manufacturer did not infringe as they were the original inventors of the technology.

Contour IP Holding LLC accused GoPro Inc. of infringing on their patented video camera technology. The jury was presented with arguments from both sides, with Contour's counsel seeking $174 million in damages for the alleged infringement.

GoPro's attorney countered the claims by stating that the company was the original inventor of the technology in question and therefore did not infringe on Contour's patents.

The case, which is being heard in a California federal court, has drawn attention due to the significant amount of damages being sought by Contour IP Holding LLC.

Both parties have presented their closing arguments, and the jury will now deliberate on the evidence presented to reach a verdict in the case.
