 protect its rights to these trademarks and trade names or may be forced to stop using these names, which Kineta needs for name recognition by potential partners or customers in Kineta’s markets of interest. During trademark registration proceedings, Kineta may receive rejections of its applications by the USPTO or in other foreign jurisdictions.

Although Kineta would be given an opportunity to respond to those rejections, Kineta may be unable to overcome such rejections. In addition, in the USPTO and in comparable agencies in many foreign jurisdictions, third parties are given an opportunity to oppose pending trademark applications and to seek to cancel registered trademarks. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed against Kineta’s trademarks, and Kineta’s trademarks may not survive such proceedings. If Kineta is unable to establish name recognition based on its trademarks and trade names, Kineta may not be able to compete effectively and Kineta’s business may be adversely affected. Kineta may license its trademarks and trade names to third parties, such as distributors. Although these license agreements may provide guidelines for how Kineta’s trademarks and trade names may be used, a breach of these agreements or misuse of Kineta’s trademarks and trade names by Kineta’s licensees may jeopardize Kineta’s rights in or diminish the goodwill associated with Kineta’s trademarks and trade names.

Moreover, any name Kineta has proposed to use with its product candidate in the United States must be approved by the FDA, regardless of whether Kineta has registered it, or applied to register it, as a trademark. Similar requirements exist in Europe. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed product names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. If the FDA (or an equivalent administrative body in a foreign jurisdiction) objects to any of Kineta’s proposed proprietary product names, Kineta may be required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable substitute name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, not infringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. Furthermore, in many countries, owning and maintaining a trademark registration may not provide an adequate defense against a subsequent infringement claim asserted by the owner of a senior trademark. At times, competitors or other third parties may adopt trade names or trademarks similar to Kineta’s,**

thereby impeding Kineta’s ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that
