. At the end of a period of 30-31 months from the earliest priority date of the patent application (varies by jurisdiction), individual applications can be filed in any of the PCT member states/regions. Use of the PCT system is more cost-effective than direct foreign filings and permits applicants greater flexibility with respect to budgeting and the selection of foreign jurisdictions.

For all patent applications, TuHURA determines claiming strategy on a case-by-case basis. Advice of counsel and TuHURA’s business model and needs are always considered. TuHURA seeks to file patents containing claims for protection of all useful applications of TuHURA’s proprietary technologies and any products, as well as all new applications and/or uses TuHURA discovers for existing technologies and products, assuming these are strategically valuable. TuHURA continuously reassess the number and type of patent applications, as well as the pending and issued patent claims to pursue maximum coverage and value for TuHURA’s processes, and compositions, given existing patent office rules and regulations. Further, claims may be modified during patent prosecution to meet TuHURA’s intellectual property and business needs.

TuHURA recognizes that the ability to obtain patent protection and the degree of such protection depends on a number of factors, including the extent of the prior art, the novelty and non-obviousness of the invention, and the ability to satisfy the enablement requirement of the patent laws. In addition, the coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before the patent is issued, and its scope can be reinterpreted or further altered even after patent issuance. Consequently, TuHURA may not obtain or maintain adequate patent protection for any of TuHURA’s future product candidates or for TuHURA’s technology platform. TuHURA cannot predict whether the patent applications it is currently pursuing will issue as patents in any particular jurisdiction or whether the claims of any issued patents will provide sufficient proprietary protection from competitors. Any patents that TuHURA holds may be challenged, circumvented or invalidated by third parties.

The patent positions of biotechnology companies are generally uncertain and involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions. TuHURA’s commercial success will also depend in part on not infringing upon the proprietary rights of third parties. Third-party patents could require TuHURA to alter its development or commercial strategies, or TuHURA’s products or processes, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. TuHURA’s breach of any license agreements or its failure to obtain a license to proprietary rights required to develop or commercialize TuHURA’s
