Ultrahuman also tells Android Authority that it is fast-tracking a newly designed smart ring. You can read the full statement below:
We welcome the ITC’s recognition of consumer-protective exemptions and its rejection of attempts to block the access of U.S. consumers. Customers can continue purchasing and importing Ring AIR directly from us through October 21, 2025, and at retailers beyond this date.
What’s more, our software application and charging accessories remain fully available, after the Commission rejected Oura’s request to restrict them.
While we respectfully disagree with the Commission’s ruling on U.S. Patent No. 11,868,178, its validity is already under review by the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) on the grounds of obviousness.
Public reporting has raised questions about Oura’s business practices, and its reliance on litigation to limit competition.
We are moving forward with confidence — doubling down on compliance while accelerating development of a next-generation ring built on a fundamentally new architecture. As many observers recognize, restricting competition risks fewer choices, higher prices, and slower innovation.
Ultrahuman remains energized by the road ahead, committed to championing consumer choice and pushing the frontier of health technology.
