Ultrahuman unveiled its third-generation smart ring, the Ring Pro, on Friday, offering up to 15 days of battery life as the Bengaluru-based company attempts to regain access to the U.S. Market following a patent dispute with Oura. The Ring Pro is priced at $479 and will be available for preorder globally, excluding the United States, with shipments beginning in March, according to the company.
The launch of the Ring Pro comes after the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled in favor of Oura in October 2025, effectively blocking Ultrahuman from importing recent rings into the country. The ITC ruling stemmed from a patent dispute initiated by Oura, preventing Ultrahuman from replenishing U.S. Retail stock. The U.S. Market accounted for approximately 45% of Ultrahuman’s 700,000 daily active users worldwide, according to Ultrahuman co-founder and CEO Mohit Kumar.
Ultrahuman responded to the ITC ruling by developing the Ring Pro with a redesigned form factor intended to circumvent Oura’s patents. The company has submitted the new device to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for clearance to confirm its legality for import. In a parallel legal action, Ultrahuman filed a separate patent infringement case against Oura in the Delhi High Court in August 2025, a matter that remains pending.
The Ring Pro represents a significant upgrade in battery life compared to Ultrahuman’s previous model, the Ring Air, which offered four to six days of use on a single charge. The Ring Air was released in June 2023 and retailed for between $349 and $359. Despite the disruption in the U.S., Ultrahuman reported an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $150 million, with $64 million in operating revenue recorded in the financial year ending March 2025. The company remains profitable, though Kumar indicated that litigation costs, tariffs, and the redesign effort are expected to narrow margins.
Oura initially filed a complaint in Texas on September 3, 2025, alleging infringement of five U.S. Patents. Ultrahuman is also awaiting a decision from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office regarding a review of a specific Oura patent, known as the ’178 patent, acquired in 2023, with a decision expected in December.
Ultrahuman’s leadership has framed the Ring Pro launch and associated factory investments as both defensive and growth-oriented moves. The company is also highlighting the growth of its women’s health features, with women now comprising 68% of its user base. Ultrahuman’s new Jade system, offering real-time health insights, is available to all users.
