Strava Just Sued Garmin: Demands Garmin Stop Selling Devices
Strava has sued Garmin, an act that I very much did not have on my bingo card for 2025. In doing so, they are demanding that Garmin cease selling effectively all of their fitness/outdoor watches, as well as cycling computers. Additionally, they’re asking for a bunch of feature removals on Garmin Connect.
Strava is claiming that Garmin is infringing on two patents, one around segments, and the other around heatmaps. Strava is further claiming that Garmin broke a Master Cooperation Agreement between the two companies from 2015, in order to develop their Garmin Segments functionality.
Which, about now, you’re probably thinking: Wait, Garmin has its own Segments?

Strava sues Garmin over Segments and heatmaps, and demands it stops selling devices
Strava has filed a lawsuit against Garmin over two key features, Segments and heatmaps, and demanded that Garmin stops selling many of its devices.
The lawsuit was filed on 30 September in the US District Court for the District of Colorado and Strava claims Garmin is infringing patents, as first reported by DC Rainmaker.
Strava’s Segment patent was filed in 2011 and granted in 2015. The patent effectively covers GPS segments with time-based performance comparisons. Garmin introduced its own Segments in 2014 on its Edge 1000 bike computer, and expanded the feature to its other devices over the remainder of the year.
Garmin then collaborated with Strava to bring Strava Live Segments to Garmin devices under a Master Cooperation Agreement (MCA).
