GoKawiilOura files new patent lawsuit against Ultrahuman over Ring Pro in Texas court
Oura has sued Ultrahuman again in federal court in Texas, alleging the redesigned Ring Pro infringes two patents covering ring design and internal components like the battery and sensors. The suit, filed Thursday, seeks monetary damages and a permanent injunction to halt U.S. sales of the Ring Pro, which only returned to the market in February after a prior Oura-driven import ban on Ultrahuman's earlier Ring Air.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The timing is notable since one of the cited patents was granted to Oura just two days before the lawsuit was filed, suggesting the company moved quickly to extend its legal protections as soon as they existed. This marks another escalation in Oura's pattern of patent litigation against rivals including Samsung and RingConn, which could signal an effort to use its patent portfolio to maintain dominance in the fast-growing smart ring market.
- Oura is seeking a permanent injunction to block U.S. sales of Ultrahuman's redesigned Ring Pro.
- The lawsuit cites two patents, one granted to Oura just two days before filing.
- This follows a prior ITC ruling that led to an import ban on Ultrahuman's earlier Ring Air model.
