Samsung has filed a lawsuit against Oura, seeking a judgment that says it doesn’t infringe on five of Oura’s smart ring patents.
Samsung isn’t waiting around for Oura to file any patent claims over its forthcoming smart ring. Instead, it’s preemptively filed its own suit against Oura, seeking a “declaratory judgment” that states the Galaxy Ring doesn’t infringe on five Oura patents. The suit alleges that Oura has a pattern of filing patent suits against competitors based on “features common to virtually all smart rings.
The lawsuit also confirms several details about the forthcoming Galaxy Ring. It notes that the hardware design was finalized in mid-May, that it’s scheduled to begin mass production in mid-June, and is expected to hit the US market “in or around August of this year.” It also includes a Samsung Health app screenshot showing an “Energy Score” feature based on metrics like sleep, activity, heart rate, and heart rate variability.
