Innovating IP Research @IIPRD | Indian Patent Agent

Samsung Electronics isn’t waiting around for Oura to file any patent claims over its forthcoming smart ring. Instead, it’s preemptively filed its own suit against Oura, seeking a “declaratory judgment” that states the Galaxy Ring doesn’t infringe on five ŌURA patents. Filing a preemptive lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment offers several strategic benefits by providing legal certainty and allowing Samsung to choose a favorable jurisdiction, thereby controlling the legal process and potentially reducing the risk of being caught off guard by Oura’s patent enforcement actions. This proactive approach also demonstrates Samsung's confidence in its legal position, bolstering its reputation and reassuring stakeholders, about the product's legal standing. Additionally, seeking a declaratory judgment reduces legal uncertainty for partners and minimizes the risk of injunctions and other legal actions that could disrupt production and sales, ultimately allowing Samsung to manage legal expenses more predictably.
