Samsung filed a lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment against smart ring maker Oura, claiming that its upcoming Galaxy Ring didn't infringe on five Oura patents.
However, a judge has dismissed Samsung's case, stating that the company acted prematurely without concrete evidence that Oura planned to sue.
The judge noted that Samsung's complaint failed to show any specific action from Oura directed at Samsung and that the public statements alone were insufficient.
This dismissal reinforces Oura's claim that Samsung's lawsuit lacked a legitimate legal or factual basis, and confirms Samsung's interest in smart rings.
