Summary
Smart ring brands Ultrahuman and RingConn have been accused of infringing on Oura's patent, with the US International Trade Commission finding that they used dishonest tactics, such as deconstructing Oura devices for testing. Oura asserts its patent is valid and claims the competitors breached their terms by falsely claiming a Texas facility. As the case moves forward, both companies can contest the ruling, potentially leading to significant legal consequences in the competitive smart ring market.
