  • LANDMARK VICTORY: USPTO Dismisses All Trademark Challenges WITH PREJUDICE for Mrs. Earth® | Ms. Earth® | Mrs. USA Earth™

    LANDMARK VICTORY: USPTO Dismisses All Trademark Challenges WITH PREJUDICE for Mrs. Earth® | Ms. Earth® | Mrs. USA Earth™

    USPTO dismisses all trademark challenges with prejudice, securing Mrs. Earth®, Ms. Earth®, and Mrs. USA Earth™.

    ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Mrs Earth® platform proudly announces a decisive legal victory following final rulings issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), resolving multiple trademark proceedings in favor of the organization and its protected brands.

    After years of legal challenges and uncertainty, the TTAB has formally dismissed — with prejudice — the trademark actions involving the Earth family of marks, including:

    •The petitions for cancellation against Mrs. Earth® and Ms. Earth®
    Cancellation Proceeding No. 92079538
    Cancellation Proceeding No. 92079549

    •The opposition to Mrs. USA Earth™
    Opposition Proceeding No. 91290963
    Opposition Proceeding No. 91292741

    •Additional related and consolidated proceedings

    A dismissal with prejudice represents a final adjudication, meaning the claims cannot be refiled and the matters are permanently closed.

    “This ruling marks a defining milestone for our organization,” said Mykhael Michaels, Founder of the
    Mrs. Earth® international pageant platform. “For years, we have remained steadfast in protecting the integrity, legacy, and future of the Earth Pageant brands. The Board’s decisions confirm the strength and legitimacy of our trademarks, including Mrs. Earth®, Ms. Earth®, and Mrs. USA Earth™.”

    Founded in 2007 and operating globally under its signature “Glamorously Green™” mission, the Earth platform is recognized for empowering women, promoting environmental advocacy, and cultivating leadership on an international stage. The resolution of these proceedings reinforces the organization’s exclusive brand rights and its ability to continue expanding its titles and programming worldwide with legal clarity and confidence.

    Notably, the Board’s orders clarified that the consolidated cancellation proceedings were denied with prejudice and that the opposition proceedings related to Mrs. USA Earth™ were dismissed, further securing the legal standing and protection of the Earth Pageant platform’s intellectual property portfolio.

    “This has never been just about names,” Michaels added. “It has always been about safeguarding a global platform, our directors, delegates, partners, sponsors and the legacy we have built over nearly two decades.”

    With these rulings now finalized, the Earth pageant organization confirms that its trademarks, titles, and legacy brands — including Mrs. Earth®, Ms. Earth®, Mrs. USA Earth™, and Ms. USA Earth™ — are legally protected and secured as it moves forward with renewed clarity and strength.

    Organizations, brands, and media partners interested in sponsorship, advertising, or partnership opportunities with the Earth Pageant platform are invited to connect directly with the organization for collaboration and engagement opportunities.

  • Mytonomy’s 2026 Healthcare Leader’s Guide to Modern Patient Engagement Sets New Standard for Digital-First Care Delivery

    Mytonomy’s 2026 Healthcare Leader’s Guide to Modern Patient Engagement Sets New Standard for Digital-First Care Delivery

    BETHESDA, MD, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Healthcare organizations navigating value-based care pressures, workforce shortages, and rising consumer expectations now have a consolidated strategic resource to guide modernization efforts. Mytonomy’s The 2026 Healthcare Leader’s Guide to a Modern Patient Engagement Strategy has been released as an executive-level summary outlining the core principles, technologies, and frameworks shaping patient engagement in 2026.

    Designed for healthcare leaders, the guide distills today’s most important patient engagement strategies into a practical overview. Rather than presenting isolated tactics, it summarizes how education, communication, workflow integration, and analytics must work together to drive measurable clinical and operational improvement.

    The guide defines modern patient engagement as a coordinated, digital-first approach that helps patients understand their care, participate in decision-making, and take the right actions at the right time. It clarifies the distinctions between patient education, engagement, and activation, emphasizing that engagement is a system-level strategy — not solely a patient responsibility.

    Among the key components summarized in the guide are:

    Video-based microlearning to improve comprehension and retention.

    Multilingual and culturally aligned educational resources.

    EHR-integrated workflows that automate education delivery.

    Omnichannel communication through SMS and email.

    Real-time analytics to measure and optimize engagement.

    In the guide, Mytonomy connects these strategies directly to improved medication adherence, reduced readmissions, stronger CAHPS performance, and alignment with CMS value-based reimbursement models. It also highlights operational gains, including fewer inbound calls, streamlined visits, reduced no-shows, and improved staff efficiency, when education and communication are automated.

    Recognizing common barriers such as low health literacy, digital friction, fragmented communication, and clinician burnout, the guide outlines practical solutions, including plain-language standards, culturally responsive materials, and simplified digital access. It further positions engagement as a key lever for advancing health equity by tailoring resources to language, literacy level, and social determinants of health.

    A dedicated section addresses the growing use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. As more patients turn to large language models (LLMs) for health information, the guide urges organizations to modernize digital engagement platforms to remain the trusted source of clinical guidance, first by strengthening digital education systems and then by thoughtfully incorporating AI-enabled tools with appropriate safeguards.

    To support implementation, Mytonomy concludes with a five-step road map: assess current gaps, deploy evidence-based digital education, integrate tools into the EHR, personalize communication, and continuously measure and refine performance.

    By transforming engagement into an automated, data-driven infrastructure, healthcare leaders can simultaneously empower patients, improve outcomes, and relieve operational strain on clinical teams.

    About Mytonomy

    Mytonomy is an enterprise patient engagement platform that enables healthcare organizations to deliver personalized, video-based education and digital care guidance at scale. Seamlessly integrated with leading EHR systems, Mytonomy allows clinicians to prescribe evidence-based microlearning content through automated workflows while tracking engagement in real time. With multilingual resources and analytics-driven insights, the platform helps health systems improve patient comprehension, increase adherence, reduce readmissions, enhance the patient experience, and support values-based care initiatives — all while reducing clinical burden and improving operational efficiency.

  • Worksoft Previews Connective Automation Platform 2026, Advancing Intelligent, Impact-Driven Enterprise Testing

    Worksoft Previews Connective Automation Platform 2026, Advancing Intelligent, Impact-Driven Enterprise Testing

    The 2026 Worksoft release embeds AI across change intelligence adaptive automation and insights to help teams reduce risk and deliver transformation confidently

    Enterprise change doesn’t fail because teams lack automation. It fails because they lack clarity,”
    — Matt Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer at Worksoft

    ADDISON, TX, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Worksoft, a leader in AI-driven test automation for business applications, today announced the public preview of Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 2026, with general availability planned for March 2026.

    The 2026 release marks a shift in how enterprises approach testing during large-scale change. Rather than focusing solely on executing more tests, Worksoft 2026 enables teams to focus test efforts on change, adapt automation as applications evolve, and better understand the risk and root cause behind test outcomes.

    As organizations accelerate initiatives across SAP and other mission-critical systems, traditional test automation struggles to keep pace with the volume and interdependence of change. Worksoft 2026 addresses this challenge by embedding AI across impact analysis, execution, adaptation, and explanation, connecting business change directly to testing decisions and outcomes at enterprise scale.

    “Enterprise change doesn’t fail because teams lack automation. It fails because they lack clarity,” said Matt Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer at Worksoft. “With the Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 2026, we help organizations understand the impact of change, adapt their automation as applications evolve, and quickly explain what went wrong when issues occur. This is about delivering change with confidence, not just running more tests.”

    Together, these capabilities establish a more connected approach to testing, moving from static execution toward intelligent decisioning, adaptation, and explanation at scale.

    Impact-Driven Testing, Built for Enterprise Scale

    At the core of Worksoft 2026 is impact-driven testing, which enables organizations to automatically trigger the right tests based on change analysis instead of relying on static test suites. By linking Worksoft Impact directly with execution, teams can focus testing effort where risk is introduced, reduce unnecessary regression cycles, and move releases forward with greater confidence.

    The platform also introduces AI-powered root cause analysis and natural-language summaries, further strengthening this approach. These capabilities enable teams to diagnose failures and interpret results without lengthy manual investigation. Designed for enterprise trust, the insights are delivered using on-premises AI models and are directly tied to execution and change context.

    Adaptive Automation That Learns as Applications Change

    Worksoft 2026 expands the platform’s self-healing capabilities, allowing automation to adapt to application changes without re-authoring existing test assets. This reduces maintenance effort while preserving long-term automation investments. The release also strengthens end-to-end process testing through enhanced multi-application support. Improved visibility across SAP and non-SAP systems enables teams to validate complete business workflows rather than isolated applications.

    Enterprise-Ready Modernization and Integrations

    To support the most demanding enterprise environments, Worksoft 2026 includes platform enhancements focused on performance, scalability, and security. Improvements span test execution reliability, reporting services, fault tolerance, and infrastructure modernization.

    The release also expands integrations across the enterprise toolchain, including updates to SAP Solution Manager, SAP Cloud ALM, Jenkins, Xray, and Jira. These integrations help teams embed impact-driven testing more seamlessly into existing DevOps and ALM workflows.

    “The 2026 release reflects how our customers actually operate today, across multiple applications, continuous change, and high expectations for quality,” said Aftab Alam, Chief Product Officer at Worksoft. “By connecting impact, execution, and insight in a single platform, we are enabling a more resilient and scalable approach to enterprise testing.”

    Availability

    Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 2026 is planned for general availability in March 2026. This announcement represents the first disclosure of the upcoming release, providing customers and partners with early visibility into what’s coming next. Existing Worksoft customers can request early access to Worksoft 2026 through the Customer Playground ahead of general availability by visiting www.worksoft.com/2026.

  • Bert Thin Films has successfully co-fired silver and copper pastes on a TOPCon M10 solar cell

    Bert Thin Films has successfully co-fired silver and copper pastes on a TOPCon M10 solar cell

    Recent results demonstrate that copper pastes can be co-fired with commercial silver pastes.

    LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Bert Thin Films (BTF) is proud to announce the successful high temperature co-fire of silver and copper pastes on a TOPCon architecture using typical industry screen printing and high temperature fire furnaces. The co-fire was performed in air at BTF and also at an independent site.

    The solar industry has shown remarkable growth in the past decade. Technologies based on screen printing of silver pastes have dominated the market. The recent significant increases in the price of silver have caused concerns in the market, and many in the industry are looking at alternative metallization approaches.

    Copper is the most studied of the alternative approaches, with several different technologies being considered. However, most require new equipment or new unit operations.

    BTF has developed copper pastes that can be screen printed and fired in air. The recent results demonstrate that copper pastes can be co-fired with commercial silver pastes. BTF demonstrated that high efficiency devices can be fabricated using silver frontside and BTF copper backside pastes.

    In December, BTF announced 25% on sequential fire TOPCon as well as successful 2000 hr damp heat data. Please contact us for additional information.

    About Bert Thin Films
    Bert Thin Films, Inc. located in Louisville, Kentucky, is a materials-driven startup pioneering high-temperature, high-performance copper pastes for next-generation photovoltaics. With a focus on enabling copper, Bert Thin Film’s technology platform supports scalable, cost-effective solar cell production across a range of advanced device architectures.

    Co-creating a solution that combines ICT’s industry data and expertise with advanced AI capabilities transformed a bottleneck into a scalable platform that delivers immediate business value.”
    — Abdul Zamerli, Senior Partner, AI & Strategy at Artefact

    NEW YORK, PA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Artefact, the global leader in designing data and AI solutions to positively impact people and organizations, announced a strategic collaboration with Impact Climate Technologies (ICT), one of the most prominent and influential distributors in the commercial HVAC industry, to launch ImpactIQ™, a proprietary, end-to-end AI platform developed exclusively for ICT.

    Purpose-built to streamline and modernize the pricing and bidding process, ImpactIQ™ automates takeoff generation during the earliest stages of construction projects, historically one of the most time-intensive and capacity-constraining phases of HVAC estimating. The platform is being deployed within ICT’s operations, supporting internal estimating and pricing workflows, enabling faster bid turnaround and greater consistency while allowing teams to focus on delivering the right solutions for the right clients.

    ImpactIQ™ was co-developed through close collaboration between Artefact and ICT, bringing together Artefact’s deep data science and AI engineering capabilities with ICT’s operational expertise. ICT played a central role in defining requirements, shaping workflows, and guiding system design.

    Unlike off-the-shelf automation tools, the platform was architected specifically around ICT’s operational standards, growth strategy, and commitment to improving service, responsiveness, and long-term value for clients.

    As a market-leading commercial HVAC distributor, ICT was uniquely positioned to contribute thousands of proprietary data points drawn from decades of completed projects and estimating history across its network. This depth and scale of real-world data enabled the AI models underlying ImpactIQ™ to be trained on authentic industry conditions, symbol standards, and project complexity, resulting in higher accuracy, greater consistency, and increased confidence among estimating teams.

    “From the outset, this engagement was about building something truly differentiated for ICT,” said Abdul Zamerli, Senior Partner, AI & Strategy at Artefact. “By co-creating a solution that combines ICT’s unmatched industry data and operational expertise with advanced AI capabilities, we transformed a manual bottleneck into a scalable, proprietary platform that delivers immediate business value and long-term competitive advantage.”

    “ImpactIQ™ represents how we think about innovation at ICT,” said John Moon, CEO of Impact Climate Technologies. “We are constantly looking for ways to streamline our processes so our teams can focus on what matters most, delivering smarter solutions and better service to our clients. By working closely with Artefact to design a platform tailored specifically to our business, we’ve created a proprietary capability that strengthens our operations today and positions us for continued growth in the future.”

    Prior to partnering with Artefact, ICT relied on a largely manual takeoff process that limited the number of projects estimators could support. Today, ImpactIQ™ enables faster, more consistent pricing while freeing teams to spend more time collaborating with clients, providing real-time support, and delivering higher-value advisory services.

    ImpactIQ™ combines advanced image recognition, blueprint intelligence, and generative AI to streamline HVAC construction bidding. Core capabilities include:

    • AI-driven symbol and label detection: Image recognition models trained on ICT’s proprietary data detect and count HVAC symbols across complex blueprint PDFs with speed and precision.
    • Blueprint intelligence and GenAI “chat with blueprint”: Automated segmentation of specifications, schedules, and notes, with the ability to query technical and scope details directly from drawings.
    • End-to-end workflow integration: Seamless deployment within ICT’s existing business systems to drive adoption, operational efficiency, and real-time responsiveness.

    Looking ahead, ICT has active plans to expand ImpactIQ™ through ongoing upgrades and additional capabilities, extending the platform’s scope to support broader estimating, project intelligence, and client-facing use cases, reinforcing ICT’s commitment to continuous improvement and investment in proprietary technology that streamlines operations while strengthening client relationships.

    This strategic collaboration underscores Artefact’s ability to deliver AI solutions that generate tangible, measurable business impact, and ICT’s continued industry leadership.

    For Artefact, this collaboration demonstrates how co-created, industry-specific AI platforms can drive durable impact when built around real operational needs.

    — Siva Palani

    WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Corrdesa LLC today announced an important addition to the materials database within its corrosion intelligence platform, Corrdesa Corrosion DjinnTM. Djinn now includes experimentally acquired polarization data for 67 automotive-relevant materials, developed through direct collaboration with Ford Motor Company and General Motors.

    This expanded dataset marks a significant milestone in making Djinn automotive-ready, providing OEMs and suppliers with high-fidelity electrochemical inputs using real automotive manufactured materials, coatings and sealants. The measurement protocol builds on Corrdesa’s proven experience gathering aerospace material data for the U.S. Department of Defense.

    Unlike generic or literature-derived corrosion inputs, the new Djinn dataset reflects actual measured polarization behavior for alloys, coatings, and surface treatments commonly used in modern automotive platforms, including mixed-material assemblies and electrified vehicle architectures.

    “This is what digital transformation looks like for corrosion engineering: science-backed electrochemical data, computational analysis, and the ability to design out corrosion risks in the virtual vehicle—before a single prototype is built,” said Siva Palani, CTO of Corrdesa. “By working directly with Ford and GM to acquire high-quality polarization data, we’ve taken a positive step to ensure Djinn reflects the materials and realities automotive engineers actually face.”
