ITC instituted an Oura patent investigation naming the Amazfit Helio Ring

Oura filed an ITC complaint (Nov 17 2025) and the ITC instituted Inv. 337-TA-1468 (Dec 18 2025) alleging the Amazfit Helio Ring infringes Oura's '178 and related smart-ring patents; co-respondents include Samsung (Galaxy Ring), Reebok, and Nexxbase/Noise. As of mid-2026 the investigation is pending with no remedy ordered. Cap-flag: this concerns the Amazfit Helio RING (recorded under the amazfit/Zepp maker entity), not an Amazfit smartwatch.
