Surgical Robotics Technology
Microbot Medical Inc. announced that it has been granted a critical patent in China by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), a key step in the Company’s global IP expansion strategy. The patent, which covers the robotic manipulation of a surgical tool handle, further validates the Company’s technological innovation and expands its intellectual property (IP) portfolio. This milestone demonstrates Microbot’s continued commitment to protect its proprietary technology as it builds a broader global commercialization strategy.
This growing portfolio with respect to LIBERTY, which includes nine patents granted globally and 59 patent applications pending, helps ensure the Company maintains a competitive advantage while protecting the unique capabilities of the LIBERTY System. The Company’s primary objective remains focused on the U.S. market and preparing for the anticipated Q3 2025 commercial launch of the LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System, upon planned FDA clearance.
Preparations for the anticipated U.S. launch are underway with regulatory, operational and commercial activities accelerating. In parallel, Microbot is laying the groundwork to enter international markets and maximize the long-term potential of the LIBERTY system.
“As we move closer to our projected U.S. commercial launch of the LIBERTY System, upon planned FDA clearance, we continue to take the necessary steps to build and protect the foundation for sustained growth and global reach,” said Harel Gadot, Chairman, CEO & President. “With an estimated over two million peripheral endovascular procedures performed annually in the U.S., and another approximately 2.9 million estimated in China, we believe the opportunity to impact developed and emerging markets is significant. Expanding access to endovascular robotics is central to our mission to improve patient outcomes and enhance procedural capabilities for physicians worldwide.”
LIBERTY® is an investigational device pending FDA 510(k) clearance, and is currently not available for sale in the U.S.
