 that we will be responsible for our own legal costs,
no matter the outcome of the litigation. In contrast, in the United Kingdom, the losing party typically is ordered to pay the winning
party’s costs, although it is rare to have a complete recovery of all costs from the losing side. Some of our competitors may be
able to sustain the costs of complex litigation more effectively or for a longer time than we can because of their substantially greater
resources. In addition, uncertainties or threatened or actual disputes relating to any patent, patent application or other intellectual
property right (including confidential information) could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market a product, enter into
collaborations in respect of the affected products, or raise additional funds.

The policing of unauthorized
use of our patented technologies and product candidates is difficult and expensive. There can be no assurance that the steps we take will
prevent misappropriation of, or prevent an unauthorized third party from obtaining or using, the technologies, know-how and products we
rely on. In addition, effective protection may be unavailable or limited in some jurisdictions. Any misappropriation of our proprietary
technology, product candidates and intellectual property could have a negative impact on our business and our operating results. Litigation
may be necessary in the future to enforce or protect our rights or to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others.
Litigation could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert resources and management attention away from our daily business and there
can be no guarantees as to the outcome of any such litigation. In addition, a defendant in any such litigation may counterclaim against
us, resulting in additional time and expense to defend against such a counterclaim, which defense may not be successful.

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

Competitors may infringe on
our patents or misappropriate or otherwise violate our intellectual property rights. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, litigation
may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the
validity and scope of our own intellectual property rights or the proprietary rights of others. This can be expensive and time consuming.
Many of our current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to defend our intellectual
property rights than we can. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating
our intellectual property.
