New Oura lawsuit threatens to once again disrupt smart ring market
Another day, another Oura lawsuit against a key industry rival.
Smart ring manufacturer Oura has filed a lawsuit against Ultrahuman in a Texas federal court, threatening to remove the Ultrahuman Ring Pro from US shelves due to alleged patent infringement. According to the lawsuit, Oura claims that the Ring Pro infringes on two of its patents, one related to design and the other to internal hardware.
These patents are identified as D804,471 and 12,769,363. Oura seeks a ban on the sale of the Ultrahuman Ring Pro and is also seeking damages. This is not the first time Oura has sued Ultrahuman over smart ring technology - last year, Oura sued Ultrahuman over the Ring Air, which led to its removal from US shelves. Despite this legal setback, Ultrahuman's co-founder has stated that the company will respond to the allegations and that the Ring Pro remains available in the US market. The new Ring Pro features a redesigned heart-rate sensor and boasts a two-week battery life.
