Overview

• On Aug. 21, the ITC found Ultrahuman and RingConn infringed Oura’s patents and issued exclusion and cease‑and‑desist orders, with submission to the USTR expected this week, according to Oura.
• The orders bar importing, selling, and marketing the rings in the U.S. after Oct. 21, while a 60‑day review period allows continued sales until then.
• Ultrahuman says customers can purchase Ring Air directly through Oct. 21 and that its app and charging accessories remain available under the ruling.
• Ultrahuman announced a patent lawsuit against Oura in India and says it is accelerating a redesigned ring built on a new architecture.
• The ruling narrows U.S. options by sidelining two subscription‑free competitors, a shift coverage says strengthens Oura’s market position.
