Oura sues Ultrahuman and SVTronics in Texas over two patents, targeting Ring Pro's U.S. return
Oura filed a patent infringement complaint in a federal court in Texas against Ultrahuman and the Texas-based manufacturer SVTronics. It seeks damages and a permanent injunction to stop U.S. sales of Ultrahuman's redesigned Ring Pro. The suit cites design patent D804,471 and utility patent 12,769,363, which cover the ring's design and internal components such as the battery and sensors. Patent 12,769,363 was issued on October 20, two days before the filing. Oura argues that the March U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruling clearing the redesign covered only the patent from the earlier ITC dispute. This is commercial IP litigation with no cybersecurity impact.
