Samsung to Launch Galaxy Ring Amid Legal Dispute with Oura

Samsung is gearing up for the launch of its Galaxy Ring, a new health-and-fitness wearable, in the US around August.

This launch might coincide with the debut of Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Z series foldable devices, anticipated during a Galaxy Unpacked event in July.

However, the launch could face delays due to potential patent infringement lawsuits from Finnish health-tracking company Oura.

Oura’s legal threats revolve around five specific patents related to functionalities in ring-style fitness trackers.
