 substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies 47 awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license. If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or if our employees wrongfully use or disclose alleged trade secrets of their former employers, our business would be harmed. If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or if our employees wrongfully use or disclose alleged trade secrets of their former employers, our business would be harmed. In addition to our issued patent and pending patent applications, we rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know -how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position and to protect our products and pipeline products.

If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result
