Before the smart ring’s release, Samsung is proactively suing Oura in the US to stop litigation alleging patent infringement related to the wearable Galaxy Ring. The wearable device’s intended launch timeframe was made public by the lawsuit. During its Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event in January, the South Korean firm initially revealed hints about the Galaxy Ring. The wearable was also on display at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2024) in February, and it included a number of health and sleep tracking functions.
Samsung preemptively filed a lawsuit against Oura in federal court in California prior to the formal release of the Galaxy Ring. The lawsuit seeks a “declaratory judgment” declaring that the Galaxy Ring does not infringe on five Oura patents. According to the lawsuit, Oura, which presently controls a large portion of the smart ring market, has a history of arbitrarily accusing rivals of violating patents on the basis of “features common to virtually all smart rings,” such as the presence of sensors, electronics, batteries, and health data scores. The case details Oura’s legal actions against manufacturers, including RingConn, Circular, and Ultrahuman.
Launch schedule for the Samsung Galaxy Ring
According to the lawsuit, Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Ring in the US in August. This supports earlier rumors regarding the wearable device’s debut schedule. It could make its debut at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, which is scheduled for July, along with Samsung’s most recent foldable devices.
The lawsuit claims that the Galaxy Ring tracks heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen, movement, and sleep in order to give users insightful information and personalized recommendations for enhancing their health and wellbeing. According to the lawsuit, Samsung has finished designing the Galaxy Ring and plans to start mass production by the middle of June.
During its January Unpacked product announcement event in San Jose, California, Samsung gave a sneak peek at the Galaxy Ring. During the MWC later in February, we were given an advance look at the device’s appearance and functionalities. It has a metallic body with internal sensor arrangements. It is confirmed to run on the Samsung Health platform and come in three color options—possibly black, gold, and silver.
With the South Korean electronics giant’s foray into the smart ring industry, consumer interest in these items will probably grow, and other manufacturers will be forced to compete.
