Quiet Luxury: Simplicity or Subtle Status Symbol?
Quiet luxury celebrates elegance without excess—but is it true confidence or just another trend hiding in minimalism?
Strava has filed a lawsuit against Garmin in the US District Court of Colorado, accusing the fitness tech giant of infringing on patents related to its popular “segments” and heatmap features. The case, first reported by DC Rainmaker, seeks a permanent injunction that could block Garmin from selling several of its best-selling devices, including Forerunner, Fenix, Epix watches, and Edge bike computers, as well as restrict use of Garmin’s Connect platform.
The lawsuit claims Garmin violated a 2015 Master Cooperation Agreement by expanding Garmin-branded segments beyond Strava’s permitted integrations, and further alleges Garmin copied Strava’s patented technology to build its own competing ecosystem. Strava also accuses Garmin of infringing on additional patents covering heatmaps and popularity-based routing.
“Garmin leveraged its access to Strava features to carefully study and copy them,” Strava spokesperson Brian Bell said in a statement. “After repeated attempts to resolve this informally, we were forced to take legal action to protect our patented inventions.”
Garmin has yet to issue a public response.
