Oura Sues Ultrahuman Over Ring Pro US Sales

Short answer: Oura has filed a new patent lawsuit against Ultrahuman, aiming to stop US sales of the Ring Pro. The claims are allegations only, and no court has ruled on them.

What was filed

• The complaint was filed in federal court in Texas, reported on October 22, 2026.
• It alleges the Ring Pro infringes two patents, D804,471 and 12,769,363, per press coverage. One covers the ring's design and internal parts such as the battery and sensors.
• The second was reportedly issued to Oura on October 20, two days before the filing.
• Oura wants damages and a permanent injunction against sales. The suit also reportedly names SVTronics, which allegedly makes the ring at a Plano, Texas facility.

Background

Ultrahuman's earlier Ring Air was barred from US import after Oura won an ITC ruling in August 2025. The redesigned Ring Pro then reportedly received a favorable US Customs ruling in March 2026. Oura argues that ruling covered only the earlier patent, not the two now in the suit.

What buyers and readers should do

Step 1: separate claims from rulings

A lawsuit is a claim. Wait for a court order before assuming a product will be pulled.

Step 2: check availability and return terms

If you plan to buy, read the seller's return policy and warranty terms first.

Step 3: follow the primary source

TechCrunch's report is the best starting point. Look for Ultrahuman's response when it appears.

Common mistakes

• Treating the lawsuit as a ban. No injunction has been reported.
• Assuming the two companies' earlier case decides this one. The new suit rests on different patents.
• Buying on the assumption a ring will always be sold, with no return option.
