Just yesterday, Peter Steinberger, the developer of Clawdbot, helplessly announced on X: After being contacted by Anthropic officially, Clawdbot was forced to rename itself to “Moltbot.”
If you don’t know what Clawdbot is yet, it’s a self-deployed AI personal assistant focused on connecting all aspects of life and work. We wrote a dedicated article introducing Clawdbot a few days ago.
It’s just that no one expected this name would only last a few days before Anthropic officially demanded a name change, claiming Clawdbot violated trademark law.
The name Clawdbot originally came from the pixel-style little monster in Claude Code’s loading interface. For the open-source community, this was meant as a tribute. Even three days before the renaming controversy erupted, founder Peter confidently stated in a podcast that he had checked trademark law and that the name Clawdbot should be safe.
Clearly, he underestimated a unicorn company’s sensitivity toward IP. Anthropic’s stance was very firm. Peter tried to negotiate, asking if he could just drop one letter and change it to “Clawbot.”?
The answer was cold: Not allowed.
