So, if you are less than stoked after being upgraded to the new Quik app this week just to find that the remote settings for "Pro Tune" is nowhere to be found in the app the reason is that GoPro is in litigation with a company which holds two old Contour patens:

"the court agreed with Contour’s claim that GoPro’s remote app infringes on the technology patents and has done so since 2014."

"In December (2020), a jury is scheduled to hear evidence and will decide whether GoPro has willfully infringed on the patents and how much in damages must be paid. So far, liability has not been established; however, if it is, GoPro will be required license the rights from Contour since Contour has valid patents on the technology. Contour will also be allowed to share evidence of GoPro CEO Nick Woodman taking apart and copying Contour action cameras at the trial."
