Summary

  • Last June, Samsung filed a lawsuit against smart ring maker Oura, which sought a declaration that its own Galaxy Ring did not infringe on five Oura patents.
  • However, the judge has now ruled that Samsung acted too hastily, and didn’t provide enough evidence that Oura was planning to sue the tech giant.
  • Although Samsung’s lawsuit is now dismissed, it did reveal some details about Samsung’s own ring, which has yet to be released.
  • This is not the first time that Samsung and Oura have butted heads, with the companies having previously competed over innovations in the smart ring market.
  • Patent disputes are common in the tech industry, with Apple and Huawei recently battling it out in court over graphics processing technology.
