SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ŌURA, best known as the maker of Oura Ring, announced its recent filing with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against Ultrahuman, RingConn, and Circular for infringement on several patents related to the Oura Ring form factor and both internal and external components, including sensor functionality and data processing.

“ŌURA pioneered the smart ring and has spent over a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars developing the most accurate and trusted smart ring on the market,” said Tom Hale, chief executive officer at ŌURA. “We’ve invested countless hours of design, scientific research, and engineering into our hardware, software, and algorithms to deliver a best-in-class experience for Oura Members, and we have protected that innovation with a robust intellectual property portfolio.”

“This ITC filing represents an important milestone in our commitment to protecting our innovation,” continued Hale. “Our message is clear: we support innovation and embrace competition, but we will take action to defend our intellectual property.”
