Ultrahuman pushes back against Oura’s bid to ban the Ring Pro
The legal battle is just getting started.
Ultrahuman has refuted the lawsuit filed by Oura claiming that their Ring Pro device infringes on two of Ultrahuman's patents. The startup has decided to handle the legal dispute through traditional legal means, rejecting the patent infringement claims. Last week, Oura lodged a lawsuit in a Texas federal court, demanding a ban on Ring Pro sales and monetary damages.
This isn't Ultrahuman's first encounter with Oura in legal matters - the smart ring manufacturer has been involved in multiple lawsuits against competitors, successfully securing a ban on Ultrahuman's Ring Air model over a patent dispute in 2025. Now, last week, Ultrahuman filed another federal lawsuit, alleging that their latest model, the Ring Pro, violates two Oura patents, putting them back on the path to a potential ban.
However, Ultrahuman has now responded to these accusations, echoing Mohit Kumar's statements from last week. In an extensive statement to Android Authority, Ultrahuman maintains their confidence in the Ring Pro, stating it represents a "substantially redesigned generation" of their technology. The company also points out that US Customs and Border Protection found no violation of Oura's patents in the lawsuit regarding the Ring Air last year.
