GoKawiilOura files new patent lawsuit against Ultrahuman over Ring Pro in US
Oura has sued Ultrahuman again in a Texas federal court, alleging its redesigned Ring Pro infringes two patents, including one granted just two days before the suit was filed. Oura is seeking damages and another US sales ban, and has also named manufacturer SVTronics as a defendant. Ultrahuman says it will contest the claims, noting US Customs and Border Protection previously cleared the Ring Pro's redesign over an earlier patent dispute.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The case extends a long-running patent battle between the two smart ring makers that already resulted in a US ban on Ultrahuman's Ring Air. A second win for Oura could again block Ultrahuman's flagship product from the lucrative US market, suggesting the companies may be locked in a recurring cycle of redesign-and-relitigate as the wearables sector grows more competitive.
- Oura has filed a second lawsuit against Ultrahuman, this time targeting the Ring Pro over two patents.
- One cited patent was granted only two days before the lawsuit was filed, and covers the ring's internal design.
- Ultrahuman says US Customs already cleared its redesign and plans to fight the new claims in court.
