DJI Files Patent Lawsuit Against Yuneec, Marking Industry's First Legal Fight

An anonymous reader writes: The world's most successful consumer drone manufacturer, DJI, has filed a lawsuit in California claiming Yuneec has infringed on two of its patents. The claim centers on "systems and methods for target tracking," and "interchangeable mounting platform." They're asking the court to halt the sale of the infringing Yuneec products and systems.
