Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Microbot gained a U.S. patent expanding LIBERTY's applications with modular tool-receiver units.
The new patent increases Microbot's U.S. market opportunity from 2.5M to over 6M procedures.
Shares have risen 7.1% after the news, with year-to-date gains of 195.5% against industry decline.
Microbot Medical Inc. (MBOT - Free Report) has been granted a new U.S. patent that broadens the potential applications of its LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System. The patent covers a modular design that allows interchangeable tool-receiver units, giving the system flexibility to adapt to a wider range of endovascular procedures. This expansion builds on the company’s existing portfolio of 12 granted patents and 57 pending applications, strengthening its long-term positioning in the robotic surgery market.
With this development, Microbot is looking beyond its initial focus on peripheral endovascular procedures. The company estimates that the new IP could eventually open the door to more than six million annual endovascular procedures in the United States, significantly expanding its total addressable market. While LIBERTY remains under FDA review for 510(k) clearance, the patent provides additional protection and strategic optionality as the company prepares for potential commercialization.
Likely Trend of MBOT Stock Following the News

Patent Significance: Expanding TAM and Revenue Potential
The newly granted U.S. patent adds flexibility to the LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System by allowing interchangeable tool-receiver units, which broadens its use across a wider range of endovascular procedures. This expansion raises Microbot Medical’s potential U.S. market from about 2.5 million to more than six million annual procedures, creating a much larger revenue opportunity in the long run. The patent also strengthens the company’s intellectual property position, which is important for protecting future innovation, supporting commercialization efforts, and potentially attracting strategic partnerships.
More on MBOT’s LIBERTY System
The LIBERTY system is built as a single-use, fully disposable robotic platform intended for endovascular procedures. It is designed to simplify workflow by eliminating the need for complex reusable systems while also reducing potential risks linked to reprocessing. Its modular architecture allows the system to be configured for different clinical applications, which could make it relevant across a wider set of procedures than initially targeted.
From a business standpoint, these characteristics are aimed at addressing barriers to adoption that have limited robotic technologies in the past, such as cost, portability, and ease of use. While the system is still awaiting FDA 510(k) clearance, Microbot’s approach reflects a longer-term effort to establish LIBERTY as a scalable solution in vascular care.
