In Wake of Its ITC Win, Ouraring Files More District Court Complaints

In March of this year, Northern District of California Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin granted an Oura Health motion to dismiss a declaratory judgment action filed by Samsung. Despite enforcement efforts undertaken against others in the smart ring space, the court ruled that the lack of an affirmative action directed at Samsung itself prevented the exercise of jurisdiction there. Now, Oura Health (Ouraring) has indeed sued Samsung (2:25-cv-01064), alleging in an Eastern District of Texas complaint infringement of eight patents through the provision of the “Galaxy Ring and its corresponding Applications, including the Galaxy Wearable Application and the Samsung Health Application”. The new case drops on the heels of Oura Health’s success before the International Trade Commission (ITC).
