Samsung has filed a lawsuit against Oura. This legal action is taken as a preemptive measure to stop Oura from possibly asserting a patent violation.

Samsung also observed Oura’s apparent readiness for a legal battle, like a declaration regarding the robustness of its patents and trademarks shortly after the announcement of the Galaxy Ring. Samsung thought that Oura might take legal action due to a past record of legal disputes involving firms providing standard functionalities found in nearly every smart ring.

The Galaxy Ring is anticipated to feature both pulse and pulse oximeter sensors, and it’s supposed to seamlessly blend with Samsung’s extensive range of products, encompassing home automation and digital payment systems. It’s widely anticipated that this will happen when a new line of foldable devices is introduced, possibly during an Unpacked gathering in the upcoming summer months.
