Samsung’s secret Galaxy Ring ‘plan’ leaked, court documents reveal launch timeline

Samsung has sued Finnish startup Oura to preempt potential intellectual property disputes ahead of the highly anticipated launch of the Galaxy Ring. The lawsuit, reported by The Verge, suggests that Oura’s history of aggressive patent enforcement against smaller wearable tech competitors could extend to Samsung, in the near future.

“Oura’s actions and public statements demonstrate that Oura will continue asserting patent infringement against other entrants into the US smart ring market, including Samsung,” reads the lawsuit. It highlights that Oura’s immediate response to the announcement of the Galaxy Ring was to underscore the strength of its patent portfolio.
