Smart ring manufacturer, Ultrahuman, has initiated a legal dispute against Oura, alleging patent infringement in their ongoing competiton.
In a recent development, Oura, a Finland-based smart ring company, and Ultrahuman, an American competitor, are locked in a legal battle that has now expanded to India's Delhi High Court.
The dispute began when Oura accused Ultrahuman and RingConn, another smart ring maker, of patent infringement in the U.S. Oura claimed that its competitors copied key features such as Oura's curved battery to fit the ring shape and advanced sensors.
In response to a lawsuit filed by Ultrahuman in India, an Oura spokesperson stated that Ultrahuman's lawsuit has no merit and is a blatant attempt to distract from their decisive U.S. defeat. The U.S. International Trade Commission initially ruled in favor of Oura's infringement claims, blocking all of Ultrahuman's smart rings and components from the U.S. market through exclusion and cease-and-desist orders.
Ultrahuman, however, alleges that Oura has copied its advanced intellectual property, including women's health features, circadian health tools, and glucose monitoring platform. The founder or CEO of Ultrahuman involved in the current legal dispute is not mentioned in the provided search results.
It is worth noting that Oura claims its competitors purchased Oura rings to reverse engineer them and study their inner workings.
The lawsuit is the latest salvo in the legal battle between the two smart ring companies. A final decision on the U.S. case is still to come.
This ongoing legal dispute underscores the competitive nature of the smart wearable industry, where intellectual property protection and innovation are paramount. As the battle between Oura and Ultrahuman continues, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds and what implications it may have for the industry as a whole.
