 know-how, such proprietary information may be used by others to
compete against us.

Our
success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our patent rights. In addition to the protection afforded
by any patents that may be granted, historically, we have relied on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with our employees,
consultants, and contractors to protect proprietary know-how that is not patentable or that we elect not to patent, processes that are
not easily known, knowable or easily ascertainable, and for which patent infringement is difficult to monitor and enforce and any other
elements of our product candidate discovery and development processes that involve proprietary know-how, information or technology that
is not covered by patents. However, agreements may be breached, trade secrets may be difficult to protect, and we may not receive adequate
remedies for any breach. In addition, our trade secrets and intellectual property may otherwise become known or be independently discovered
by competitors or other unauthorized third parties.

Although
our patent applications were approved in certain jurisdictions, third parties may challenge their validity, enforceability, or scope,
which may result in such patents being narrowed, found unenforceable, or invalidated. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged, our
patents may not adequately protect our intellectual property, products, or services and provide exclusivity for our new products or services
or prevent others from designing around our claims. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate
our patents or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will not have to pursue litigation against other
parties to assert its rights.

Any
of these outcomes could impair our ability to prevent competition from third parties, which may have an adverse impact on our business.

If
we cannot obtain and maintain effective patent rights for our products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our
business and results of operations would be harmed.

No
assurance can be made that our trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information will not be disclosed in violation of our
confidentiality agreements, or those competitors will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or independently develop substantially
equivalent information and techniques. Also, misappropriation or unauthorized and unavoidable disclosure of our trade secrets and intellectual
property could impair our competitive position and may have a material adverse effect on our business. Additionally, if the steps taken
to maintain our trade secrets and intellectual property are deemed inadequate
