From CNET: Smart-ring company Ultrahuman made its grand return to the US market on Tuesday, following a patent dispute with rival Oura that locked it out of the country since late 2025. Now, US Customs and Border Protection has cleared the company to operate in the US, and its newly announced Ring Pro is available to preorder immediately.
Back in August 2025, the US International Trade Commission ruled in Oura's favor in a patent dispute against both Ultrahuman and Ringconn over the internal architecture of their rings. Ringconn reached a royalties agreement with Oura, but Ultrahuman instead stopped selling its Ring Air, while it worked on the design of Ring Pro. At the end of February, Ultrahuman unveiled its new creation and began selling it in the global market while it waited for clearance to sell it in the US.
That clearance has now come through, allowing Ultrahuman -- which along with Samsung, has the second-biggest market share of the smart ring market after Oura -- to tempt American buyers with its wearable tech once more.
