, we may have insufficient recourse against third parties
for misappropriating any trade secret.

Intellectual property
rights of third parties could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products and services, and we might be required to litigate
or obtain licenses from third parties in order to develop or market our products. Such litigation or licenses could be costly or not available
on commercially reasonable terms and may prevent or delay our development and commercialization efforts.

It
is inherently difficult to conclusively assess our freedom to operate without infringing on third-party rights. Our competitive position
may be adversely affected if existing patents or patents resulting from patent applications issued to third parties or other third-party
intellectual property rights are held to cover our products or services or elements thereof, or our manufacturing or uses relevant to
our development plans. In such cases, we may not be in a position to develop or commercialize products or services or our products (and
any relevant services) unless we successfully pursue litigation to nullify or invalidate the third-party intellectual property right concerned
or enter into a license agreement with the intellectual property right holder, if available on commercially reasonable terms. There may
also be pending patent applications that if they result in issued patents, could be alleged to be infringed by our new products or services.
If such an infringement claim should be brought and be successful, we may be required to pay substantial damages, be forced to abandon
our new products or services or seek a license from any patent holders. Our commercial success depends in part on our avoiding infringement
of the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. No assurances can be given that a license will be available on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all.

It
is also possible that we have failed to identify relevant third-party patents or applications. For example, U. S. patent applications filed
before November 29, 2000, and certain U. S. patent applications filed after that date that will not be filed outside the United States
remain confidential until patents issue. Patent applications in the United States and elsewhere are published approximately 18 months
after the earliest filing for which priority is claimed, with such earliest filing date being commonly referred to as the priority date.
Therefore, patent applications covering our new products or services could have been filed by others without our knowledge. Additionally,
pending patent applications which have been published can, subject to certain limitations, be later amended in a manner that could cover
our services, our new products, or the use of our new products. Third-party
