Zepp North America Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of Zepp Health Corporation (NYSE: ZEPP), a global smart wearable and health technology company. Founded in 2013 as Huami Corporation, the parent company officially changed its name to Zepp Health in February 2021. While the parent company was founded in China and has U.S. operations based in Cupertino, California, its principal office is now in Gorinchem, The Netherlands. Zepp Health has over 700 employees and shipped over 200 million devices globally.
Zepp Health is an operating company that designs, manufactures, and sells smart health devices and provides data analytics services. Its main consumer brands are Amazfit, Zepp Clarity, and Zepp Aura. The product portfolio includes smartwatches, fitness bands, smart rings, and smart hearables that monitor biometric and activity data. These devices are powered by the company's proprietary Zepp Digital Health Management Platform, which utilizes AI chips, biometric sensors, and data algorithms to provide health and fitness insights to users through mobile applications.
The provided data shows Zepp North America Inc. as a plaintiff in two patent infringement cases and a defendant in none. This indicates a patent assertion posture in its U.S. litigation. Both tracked lawsuits were filed on the same day, April 21, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known for being favorable to patent plaintiffs. This litigation posture as a plaintiff is a recent development and appears to be a counter-suit in a larger dispute.
The two tracked cases, Zepp North America Inc et al. v. Oura Health Oy and Zepp Inc. et al. v. Oura Health Oy, accuse Oura's "Oura Ring" of infringing on six of Zepp's patents. The patents relate to technology for motion recognition, power consumption reduction, sensor data confidence, stride calibration, health risk scoring, and sleep monitoring. This legal action follows lawsuits filed by Oura against Zepp and other smart ring makers in late 2025, alleging infringement of Oura's patents related to the structural design of smart rings.
