- Ultrahuman may be about to launch a new Ring Pro wearable device
- This is hinted at in new paperwork filed with the FCC.
- Suggests Ultrahuman Has Fixed Its Past Patent Issues
Late last year, Ultrahuman’s top smart rings were banned in the United States as part of the fallout from a patent dispute with Oura. At the time, Ultrahuman said that “a new ring design is already in development,” and a recently published regulatory filing suggests that this product is almost at our disposal.
As reported by Gadgets & Wearables, the Ultrahuman Ring Pro has just been revealed in paperwork filed with the FCC in the US. The filing lists several specifications of the new device and suggests that Ultrahuman has made changes to avoid infringing on the patents that banned its previous products in the first place.
According to the regulatory filing, the Ultrahuman Ring Pro will have multiple colors and finishes, including Pro Raw Titanium, Pro Matte Grey, Pro Silver, Pro Gold, and Pro Aster Black. There are options ranging from ring sizes five to 14, and their inner diameter extends up to 24.91mm wide.
The Ultrahuman Ring Pro uses Bluetooth Low Energy and contains a 2450 MHz chip antenna. There doesn’t appear to be any mention of NFC functionality, although that doesn’t necessarily rule out this feature as it could have been disabled for testing.
The fact that Ultrahuman is apparently back with a new device suggests that it has found a way to resolve the patent dispute that caused its previous problems. This is hinted at by the fact that Ultrahuman has also filed applications for a new charger for the Ring Pro, and the new design implies that the company has come up with a new in-house design that doesn’t infringe on Oura’s patents.
An imminent return
As soon as its rings were banned from being imported into the US, Ultrahuman assured its users that it would be back with a new product. It appears to be the Ring Pro, which according to the presentation was tested in November 2025 and manufactured a month later. Considering the ban went into effect in October, this is a quick turnaround for this new product.
At the time of the ban, Ultrahuman also raised the possibility of creating a ‘Made in USA’ version of its Ring Air that could be manufactured in Texas. There is no indication that this is in the works yet, so we will have to wait for more news on this.
Now that the Ultrahuman Ring Pro has filed its paperwork with the FCC, it has cleared the final regulatory hurdle to enter the US market. While we don’t have a solid release date yet, we probably won’t have to wait too long to see Ultrahuman announce the Ring Pro. Gadgets & Wearables notes that the filing confidentiality clause expires in May, suggesting the Ring Pro should launch before then.
When that happens, it should allow Ultrahuman to put its patent issues behind it. This should give more certainty to fans of the brand who have been waiting for news about the company’s future offerings for several months.
