Oura Files Second US Patent Suit Against Ultrahuman Seeking Injunction on Ring Pro Sales
What happened
Oura filed a federal patent infringement lawsuit against rival Ultrahuman and its Texas contract manufacturer on October 22, 2026, seeking monetary damages and an injunction to block US sales of the newly redesigned Ring Pro.
The Context
- The sequel to an import ban: After a 2025 International Trade Commission ruling barred the Ultrahuman Ring Air from the US, Ultrahuman launched the redesigned Ring Pro in February 2026, gaining US Customs clearance a month later.
- Fresh intellectual property: Oura's new complaint targets two patents, including utility patent 12,769,363, covering curved battery geometry, sensor placement, circuit design, and internal magnets.
- Supply chain targets: The lawsuit specifically names Plano-based manufacturer SVTronics as a co-defendant, directly challenging Ultrahuman's domestic manufacturing strategy while international availability remains unaffected.
The Number
— the exact window between the US Patent and Trademark Office issuing Oura’s new utility patent and Oura filing the federal lawsuit against Ultrahuman, demonstrating how rapidly category incumbents weaponize fresh IP portfolios against challenger brands.
Takeaway
While the Ring Pro stays on sale today without an injunction, expect longer delivery timelines and elevated pricing across the smart ring category as manufacturers absorb rising legal defense costs.
