Oura Files Complaint Against Ultrahuman for Patent Infringement
Oura filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Ultrahuman in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that Ultrahuman's redesigned smart ring still infringes on Oura's patents, including design and utility patents. This follows a 2025 ITC ruling that barred Ultrahuman's original smart rings from being imported into the U.S.
