 jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies
in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own product candidates and may also export infringing product
candidates to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These product
candidates may compete with our product candidates and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient
to prevent them from competing.

We do not have patent rights in all countries in which a market may
exist. Moreover, in jurisdictions where we do have patent rights, proceedings to enforce such rights could result in 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, and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, such proceedings 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 awarded, if any, may not be commercially
meaningful. Thus, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing and selling in other countries product candidates and services
that are the same as or similar to our product candidates and services, and our competitive position would be harmed.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting
and defending intellectual property rights in other jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing
countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating
to biotechnology product candidates, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing
product candidates in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in other jurisdictions,
whether or not successful, could result in 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 and 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
awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world
may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license.

Many countries, including European Union countries, India, Japan and
China, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled under specified circumstances to grant licenses to third
parties. In addition
