throwy67i4··on GoPro to move U.S.-bound camera production out of China
Does GoPro actually do their own development?

I remember reading an article when they were starting up, snd the founder basically went to some expo in a China and purchased OEM devices and slapped his brand on there.

Edit: This isn’t the article but it sheds some more light.

> Once he had the strap sorted out, Woodman would need a camera to go with it. He eventually found a 35-millimeter model made in China. Woodman made an old-school prototype using a Dremel tool, plastic blocks, and glue. He mailed it to China, wired $5,000 to get started, and in September 2004 GoPro made its first sale when a Japanese distributor ordered 100 units after seeing the product at a trade show.

Retaliate by awarding an American company a favorable judgement and enforcing American IP laws?

And what if Qualcomm had lost this lawsuit?

I’m sure there would be people saying, “This is a political move against an American company. No way would a Chinese judge rule in favor of an American company right now.”
