Samsung is gearing up for patent litigation with Oura and also announced the Galaxy Ring's launch time

On the eve of summer, technology giant Samsung has announced the imminent release of its latest product - the Galaxy Ring smart ring. This event has already caused a lot of discussion among experts and consumers, because the company Oura, a well-known manufacturer of similar gadgets, can make claims to the novelty.

Here's What We Know

Samsung's Galaxy Ring is a response to the growing demand for wearable devices that help track physical condition and achievements in the field of health and fitness. However, Oura, with a significant patent portfolio in this area, already has a history of litigation with other companies making similar products.

Samsung, for its part, is looking to secure the launch of its smart ring by seeking legal advice and preparing for possible lawsuits. The company says it wants to make sure its product doesn't infringe on Oura's patents.

Preliminary reports indicate that the main issues may arise around common technologies used in smart rings, such as battery integration, fitness goal assessment systems and health sensors. Samsung hopes that their argument will help weaken Oura's position and ensure the successful launch of the Galaxy Ring without legal hurdles.

The lawsuit filed by Samsung also specifies a launch date for the Galaxy Ring. It states that production of the device should start in mid-June and goes on to say that "Samsung will sell the Galaxy Ring in the United States in or around August."
