 could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management, and the measures we take to protect our
intellectual property from unauthorized use by others may not be effective, and there can be no assurance that our intellectual property rights will be sufficient to protect against others offering products that are substantially similar or superior
to ours and that compete with our business. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and

enforceability of our intellectual property rights and, if such defenses are successful, we could lose valuable intellectual property rights. The outcomes of such intellectual property-related
proceedings are often unpredictable. In addition, even if we are successful in enforcing our intellectual property against third parties, the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful.

Additionally, while we include in our agreements with business partners provisions that protect against unauthorized use, copying, transfer
and disclosure of our technology, some of these provisions may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Furthermore, while we enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and
enter into confidentiality agreements with our third-party providers and strategic partners, we cannot assure you that we have entered into confidentiality agreements with each party that may have or has access to our trade secrets and proprietary
technology or that we have executed adequate invention assignment agreements with all employees or third parties involved in the development of our intellectual property, including the proprietary technology used in certain parts of our business. We
also cannot guarantee that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to, and use and distribution of, our platform and proprietary information. Further, regardless of what measures we take to maintain, protect or enforce our
intellectual property and proprietary technologies, our competitors may still independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our offerings.

We may in the future file applications to protect certain of our innovations and intellectual property. If we were to seek patent protection,
we cannot assure you that any of our patent applications would result in the issuance of a patent. Further, even if issued, we cannot assure you that the scope of the patent would provide any meaningful protection. Similarly, we cannot guarantee
that all of our applications for trademark registrations will be successful. In addition, even if we are successful in obtaining intellectual property protection, our intellectual property rights may be contested, circumvented or invalidated, and we
may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights.
