On May 19, 2026, BEN, via its wholly owned subsidiary Datum Point Labs, was granted U.S. Patent No. 12,633.027, titled "Systems and Methods for Gesture Generation From Text".

The patent supports BEN's ability to generate life-like gestures from its avatars via text input from users and helps to facilitate real-time interaction between the user and avatars deployed utilizing BEN's AI technology.

BEN's newly granted patent describes an advanced artificial intelligence system that can automatically generate realistic human gestures and body movements from written or spoken language. The system uses a multi-stage AI architecture that first takes in natural language input, then translates it into an internal action representation, and finally produces coordinated body positions and gesture sequences through layered motion decoders, guided by intelligent control tokens that help refine and manage the output motion. This enables the creation of dynamic, lifelike movement sequences so that machines, digital humans, and AI agents can communicate not only through text or voice, but also through expressive physical behavior. BEN believes the patent has broad applications in areas such as digital humans and virtual assistants, robotics and humanoid systems, gaming and entertainment, immersive metaverse environments, AI-based education and training, and telepresence or customer interaction platforms.
