The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) has ruled that Ultrahuman and RingConn smart ring brands infringed upon Oura's patent, as they utilized dishonest tactics in their development process. Oura claims that the competitors purchased and deconstructed its rings to inform their product designs. Additionally, the ALJ found that Ultrahuman falsified evidence regarding its Texas manufacturing facility. As this ruling is an initial determination, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) will review it in the coming months, which may have significant implications for both brands if infringement is upheld.
Both Ultrahuman and RingConn infringe on 'every element' of Oura's patent, according to an ALJ determination, reflecting serious concerns about their product development practices.
The ALJ found that Ultrahuman had falsified evidence regarding its Texas manufacturing facility, which raises questions about the company's credibility and operational practices.
Oura alleges that both Ultrahuman and RingConn engaged in 'dishonest tactics' during their development process, including purchasing and dismantling Oura Rings for insights.
The ITC will review the initial determination regarding patent infringement, which could have significant consequences for Ultrahuman and RingConn in the market.
