 involved in
post-grant proceedings, including opposition, derivation, reexamination, inter partes review or interference proceedings challenging
our patent rights or the patent rights of others. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation could reduce
the scope or enforceability of, or invalidate, our patent rights, which could adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.

In addition, The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent
cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights
of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future,
this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the
U.S. Congress, the federal courts and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that
would weaken the Company’s ability to obtain new patents or to enforce patents that it might obtain in the future.

Similarly, changes in patent law and regulations in other countries
or jurisdictions or changes in the governmental bodies that enforce them or changes in how the relevant governmental authority enforces
patent laws or regulations may weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce patents that we have licensed or that we may obtain
in the future. For example, the complexity and uncertainty of European patent laws have also increased in recent years. In Europe,
in June 2023, a new unitary patent system was introduced, which will significantly impact European patents, including those granted
before the introduction of the system. Under the unitary patent system, after a European patent is granted, the patent proprietor can
request unitary effect, thereby getting a European patent with unitary Effect, or a Unitary Patent. Each Unitary Patent is subject to
the jurisdiction of the Unitary Patent Court, or the UPC. As the UPC is a new court system, there is no precedent for the court,
increasing the uncertainty of any litigation. Patents granted before the implementation of the UPC will have the option of opting out
of the jurisdiction of the UPC and remaining as national patents in the UPC countries. Patents that remain under the jurisdiction of the
UPC may be potentially vulnerable to a single UPC-based revocation challenge that, if successful, could invalidate the patent in
all countries who are signatories to the UPC. We cannot predict with certainty the long-term effects of the
