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

The cease-and-desist order takes effect 60 days after the decision's August 21 publication, and its submission to the Office of the US Trade Representatives, which an Oura spokesperson said is expected this week. In response to the ITC's ruling, Ultrahuman said, "We are moving forward with confidence and doubling down on compliance while accelerating development of a next-generation ring built on a fundamentally new architecture. On that same day, Ultrahuman announced it would be taking Oura to court in India, alleging that the smart ring brand infringed on its patents for its sensors, construction, and onboard process, according to a press release.
