GoKawiilOura files new patent suit against Ultrahuman over Ring Pro
Oura has filed a fresh patent infringement lawsuit against Ultrahuman in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging the Ultrahuman Ring Pro violates its design and utility patents. The complaint also names SVTronics, the Texas manufacturer of the Ring Pro, and seeks damages plus a permanent sales ban. One of the cited design patents was issued just two days before the filing.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This marks at least the fourth legal action Oura has taken against Ultrahuman or other smart ring makers since 2023, following an ITC ruling in August that banned Ultrahuman's earlier Ring Air in the US. The timing—targeting a newly issued patent right after the Ring Pro cleared US Customs—suggests Oura is moving quickly to close gaps that let rivals keep selling despite prior rulings. The outcome could shape how much legal room competitors have to launch new wearables without licensing Oura's patents.
- Oura sued Ultrahuman again, this time over the Ring Pro, in a Texas federal court.
- The suit also names SVTronics, the device's Texas-based manufacturer, as a defendant.
- It follows an August ITC ruling that already banned Ultrahuman's earlier Ring Air in the US.
