Oura's biggest smart ring rivals were just banned in the US - but you can still buy them (for now)

Oura secured a final legal victory in its patent dispute with Ultrahuman and RingConn last week. The US International Trade Commission's ruling asserts that the two competing smart ring brands infringed on Oura's patents to develop smart rings of their own. The ITC issued ceast-and-desist orders banning the two brands from importing and selling their smart rings in the US. This narrows the smart ring market's competition, taking two major competitors out of the game and giving Oura even more dominance in the wearables space.
