Ultrahuman Ring Pro Remains on Sale in the US

Ultrahuman says its Ring Pro remains available in the United States despite Oura’s new patent complaint. In a statement to the5krunner, chief executive Mohit Kumar said there is no injunction against the ring, so manufacturing, distribution and retail plans are unchanged. For athletes considering a smart ring for recovery tracking, the practical message is simple: Ring Pro can still be bought and shipped in the US today.

This is the next chapter in a dispute that can sound more final than it is. Oura has filed claims involving design patent D804,471 and utility patent 12,769,363, the latter issued on 21 October 2025 rather than two days before the complaint. Ultrahuman says it will contest those claims through the legal process. No court has decided them.

Why both sides cite the customs decision

The argument turns on a US Customs and Border Protection ruling from March 2026. That ruling found Ultrahuman’s redesigned ring outside the scope of an earlier exclusion order connected to one Oura patent considered in the prior ITC proceeding. Ultrahuman points to this outcome as support for the Ring Pro’s continued US availability, describing the product as a substantially redesigned generation built around a titanium unibody.

Oura’s response is fair and important: the customs ruling addressed the patent from the earlier dispute, not the two patents in this new complaint. So the March decision is not a legal clearance for every future Oura claim. It answered a narrower import question. It did not test design patent D804,471 or utility patent 12,769,363 in court.

For endurance athletes, that distinction matters less at checkout than it does over the long haul. A legal complaint is not an immediate product ban, and the5krunner reports that the earlier import ban affecting the Ultrahuman Ring Air arrived only after a full ITC ruling that took more than a year. Ring Pro is the current product in this dispute, while Oura Ring 5 is not part of it. The current case also does not alter Ultrahuman’s previously stated Ring Pro plans, including [NFC payments coming in 2026](/en/articles/ultrahuman-ring-pro-nfc-payments-coming-in-2026-2026-05-16).

What buyers should take from this

We would not treat either company’s statement as the final word. Ultrahuman has a customs decision that helps explain why Ring Pro is still on sale. Oura has brought fresh claims under different patents, including one issued before the complaint. Those are separate facts, and a US court has yet to rule on the new allegations.

The frustrating part is the lack of a clear endpoint. Buyers have confirmation that sales continue, but no court-tested answer yet on Oura’s new patents or on whether the case could eventually affect Ring Pro availability. Anyone buying solely because they expect permanent certainty will not get it from this news.

Verdict: Ring Pro remains a viable US purchase for athletes who want it now, but choose it for the product, not for a legal dispute that is still unresolved.
