As everybody who's watched The Lord of the Rings knows, rings can bring a lot of trouble. And it looks like Samsung is expecting some when it launches the Samsung Galaxy Ring, which we now know is intended to launch in August 2024. The culprit here isn't Sauron, however: it's rival wearable maker Oura.
The launch date has been revealed in a new US court filing by Samsung, as reported by Bloomberg Law. The report says that Samsung is seeking a legal judgement in advance of the Samsung Galaxy Ring release because it's expecting a lawsuit. The judgement it wants would declare that the Samsung Galaxy Ring doesn't infringe five of Oura's patents which, according to Samsung, cover "features common to virtually all smart rings".
