Patents & Intellectual Property

At Nextfriend™, we take innovation seriously. Our products are protected by intellectual property rights, including pending patents and trademarks, to safeguard the creativity and technology that make our animated, AI-powered décor unique.

Patent Protection

We have filed U.S. Patent Application No. 19/330,797, covering display-based animation combined with artificial intelligence for interactive decorative devices. This pending patent application protects the core technology behind characters like Bone Daddy™ and future seasonal companions.

This means that the interactive features you experience—unscripted AI conversations, adaptive personalities, synchronized animations, and re-themeable designs—are covered by our patent filings.

The following names, logos, and designs are claimed as trademarks of Nextfriend, LLC:

• Nextfriend™

• Additional character names and branding introduced in future product lines

These marks protect our brand identity and ensure that when you purchase a Nextfriend product, you’re getting the original, authentic experience.

Why It Matters

Our patents and trademarks exist to:

• Protect our customers from counterfeit or copycat products.

• Ensure every Nextfriend device delivers the quality and originality you expect.

• Safeguard the hard work and creativity of our team.
