Samsung’s trial against the finish manufacturer of Smart Rings was rejected. Arakeli Martinez-Olguin, a responsible judge of a district court in California, applied for Aura for dismissal, according to the report of Florian Muller on IP Fry.
According to IP Fry Samsung may submit a revised complaint by 25 April. Samsung can choose to play for temporary time, writes the magazine. Because Samsung’s goal with the lawsuit was primarily to carry forward a possible complaint from OURA against Samsung’s galaxy ring. With his trial, Samsung attained time and wanted to establish a beneficial place of jurisdiction with the district court in California.
“Arbitrary claim of patent violations”
Samsung presented a declaration against OURA in the last summer. The court should find out that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Ring does not violate any patents from OURA. Such manifesto action is necessary, Samsung argued in the application as ORA has a long history of “arbitrary claim of patent violation against all contestants on the market for smart rings”.
Samsung writes, “Every time a big contestant developed or launched a product, OURA has presented a patent injury against the contestant,” Samsung writes. Among others, the ultrahuman, spherical and ringcon were prosecuted.

Judge Martinez-Olguin, however, rejects the argument in his argument: Samsung did not provide enough evidence that OURA is trying to work to secure his patent against Samsung. A dispute between the parties should be tangible and solid and not only based on an imaginary situation.
To submit a revised complaint, Samsung had to cite action from OURA before the original trial – probably meanwhile the steps from OURA are no longer allowed for the trial.
Samsung plays temporarily
Samsung’s action for the announcement is about five patents that describe portable devices. In their complaints, OURA is often based on “simple, common characteristics”, which can be found in practically all intelligent rings. For example, Ola argued in cases against the contestants, a ring with ultrahuman, circular and ringcon, electronics, sensors and batteries violated the patents of OURA.
Even if the Samsung lawsuit is now dismissed, the South Korean manufacturer should not be completely dissatisfied with the situation. Samsung won time in a possible patent dispute with OURA. The Galaxy Ring came to the market on 10 July.
