Samsung Electronics, represented by a team from O’Melveny, recently filed a complaint for declaratory judgment against Oura Health, maker of the Oura smart ring, asking the Northern District of California to preemptively declare that Samsung’s soon-to-be-released Galaxy Ring doesn’t infringe on Oura’s patents.

“This action arises from Oura’s pattern of indiscriminate assertion of patent infringement against any and all competitors in the smart ring market, and its statements confirming its intentions to assert its patents against all competitors in the market,” Samsung’s May 30 complaint asserts to explain the necessity of a preemptive strike. “Each and every time a major competitor has developed and/or released a product that competes in the smart ring market, Oura has filed a patent infringement action against that competitor.”
