The US International Trade Commission's Administrative Law Judge has determined that Ultrahuman and RingConn infringed on Oura's patent regarding smart rings. Oura accuses these competitors of using dishonest methods, including deconstructing Oura devices for their own development. The judge validated Oura's patent while also noting that Ultrahuman had falsified evidence about a manufacturing site in Texas. Ultrahuman, however, has contested the ruling and stands firm on its operations in the US, stating it will meet all US demand shortly. The ITC will review this initial ruling in the coming months, which may lead to further legal actions.
Oura claims both Ultrahuman and RingConn smart rings infringe on every element of Oura’s patent, accusing them of employing dishonest tactics in their development.
The Administrative Law Judge found Oura’s patent valid and confirmed allegations that Ultrahuman falsified evidence regarding its manufacturing facility in Texas.
Ultrahuman disagreed with the ruling, emphasizing their commitment to having a Texas facility that will meet 100% of US demand in a short timeframe.
The full US International Trade Commission is expected to review the initial determination regarding patent infringement, which could lead to cease-and-desist orders.
