Overview

• The Delhi High Court threw out Ultrahuman’s case on September 1 after finding it willfully failed to disclose relevant US ITC orders from April 18 and August 21.
• The US International Trade Commission’s August 21 final determination held that Ultrahuman’s Ring Air infringed Oura’s design and utility patents and issued exclusion and cease‑and‑desist orders.
• Those ITC orders take effect after a 60‑day presidential review, setting up a US import and sales bar around October 21 once submission to the US Trade Representative is completed.
• Ultrahuman and RingConn, known for subscription‑free smart rings, face removal from US shelves, narrowing competition and consumer choice while bolstering Oura’s position.
• Ultrahuman says it will refile in India with added disclosures, accelerate a next‑generation ring built on a new architecture, and explore US production at a Texas facility to avoid import limits.
