AIBotics Advances PHILL ROBOT™ Trademark Protection as AI Wellness Platform Moves Toward CommercializationMIAMI, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIBotics, Inc. (OTCID: AIBT) (“AIBotics” or the “Company”), a global technology company building a platform around AI-enabled robotics, autonomous systems and intelligent automation, today announced that it has authorized Waterstone Edge to proceed with the final extension of its U.S. trademark application for PHILL ROBOT™, the Company’s proprietary AI-powered massage and wellness robotics platform. The extension preserves the PHILL ROBOT™ trademark application through April 16, 2027, providing AIBotics additional time to complete the required Statement of Use and submit evidence demonstrating use of the PHILL ROBOT™ mark in U.S. commerce. The U.S. trademark application covers massage apparatus, massage apparatus for massaging the entire body, and robotic massage apparatus. AIBotics’ PHILL ROBOT™ trademark application, U.S. Serial No. 97847341, was originally filed on March 20, 2023. AIBotics currently owns and controls the intellectual property associated with the PHILL platform. “PHILL is more than a product name. It is a brand we intend to build around a new generation of AI-enabled wellness robotics,” said Ben Kaplan, CEO of AIBotics. “We recognize that bringing PHILL to market has taken longer than originally anticipated, and we have had several false starts along the way. However, the additional time has allowed us to refine the technology, evaluate manufacturing alternatives and better position PHILL for commercialization.” Mr. Kaplan continued, “At the same time, the market for AI-powered robotics and personalized wellness solutions has continued to expand, potentially creating an even greater opportunity than when we first introduced PHILL. We believe the combination of a stronger product, growing market demand and protected intellectual property puts us in a better position to build long-term value for our shareholders. Protecting the PHILL ROBOT name is an important part of that strategy.” PHILL ROBOT™ is being developed as an AI-powered robotic wellness platform designed to provide personalized, on-demand therapeutic touch for home, wellness, hospitality and recovery applications. The platform combines a foldable robotic arm with adaptive AI control, interchangeable massage functions and connected software designed to personalize the user experience. AIBotics has continued advancing PHILL through product development, real-world pilt activity and U.S.-based manufacturing initiatives. PHILL previously attracted national media attention as an early entrant in AI-powered robotic massage. Fox News featured the technology in 2023, highlighting its ability to learn and remember user preferences and adapt massage sessions to individual needs. AIBotics views intellectual property protection as an important component of its strategy for building long-term value around proprietary technologies and brands. A recognized trademark can become a significant business asset as a product moves into commercialization, supporting brand recognition, licensing, distribution relationships and the goodwill associated with a growing product platform. The PHILL ROBOT™ trademark complements the intellectual property surrounding the robot’s design, functionality, software and underlying technology and is intended to help AIBotics establish and protect the PHILL identity as the platform advances toward broader commercialization.
