According to Easy Medibot on September 22, the recently registered patent pertains to technology for a uterine elevation robot and its control system. After receiving registration approval for the patent from the European Patent Office (EPO) in November of last year, Easy Medibot has been carrying out the country-by-country registration process.

Ubot is a surgical robot developed to adjust and stably maintain the position of the uterus during laparoscopic and robot-assisted gynecological surgeries. By incorporating voice recognition, remote control, and foot pedal technology, the system allows the surgeon to directly control the uterus without relying on an assistant. The company plans to realize a surgeon-centered uterine control system through this approach.

The company is currently preparing for electrical and mechanical safety testing required for domestic product approval. After conducting usability evaluation and completing the approval procedure, it aims to commercialize the product with a targeted release in the first half of next year.

Easy Medibot is also continuing to build its portfolio of intellectual property. It has completed registration of four patents domestically and filed an additional new patent for a modular, replaceable medical robot this year. Overseas, the company has filed a total of four patent applications, of which three have been registered and one is awaiting approval.

A company official stated, "Following domestic product approval, we are securing patents in key target countries in preparation for overseas market entry. Immediately after approval, we plan to begin preparations early next year to swiftly obtain FDA approval in the United States and CE certification in Europe."
