Item
7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
August 20, 2025, Microbot Medical Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the United States Patent
and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has granted the Company a patent, covering a modular robotic surgical system which includes
a base and a plurality of tool-receiver units arranged as separate units and independently and interchangeably attachable to the base
(the “Patent”).
The
press release, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is incorporated herein by reference. The information
in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This report will not be
deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Item 7.01 or Exhibit 99.1.
Item
8.01 Other Events.
The
USPTO granted the Patent to the Company, which will potentially enable its LIBERTY device to be adapted in the future for a wider
range of endovascular procedures, which would increase substantially the Total Addressable Market (TAM) the Company is aiming to
penetrate. The Patent expands the Company’s intellectual property protection in the United States for its
LIBERTY® system portfolio, which now includes 12 patents
granted globally and 57 patent
applications pending.
