 enforce its intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that Kineta develops or licenses. Furthermore, while Kineta intends to protect its intellectual property rights in its expected significant markets, Kineta cannot ensure that it will be able to initiate or maintain similar efforts in all jurisdictions in which Kineta may wish to market its product candidates. Accordingly, Kineta’s efforts to protect its intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate, which may have an adverse effect on Kineta’s ability to successfully commercialize its product candidates in all of its expected significant foreign markets. If Kineta or its licensors encounter difficulties in protecting, or are otherwise precluded from effectively protecting, the intellectual property rights important for Kineta’s business in such jurisdictions, the value of these rights may be diminished and Kineta may face additional competition in those jurisdictions.

In some jurisdictions including European countries, compulsory licensing laws compel patent owners to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, some countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If Kineta or any of its licensors are forced to grant a license to third**

Kineta may rely on trade secret and proprietary know-howwhich can be difficult to trace and enforce and, if Kineta is unable to protect the confidentiality of its trade secrets, its business and competitive position would be harmed.

In addition to seeking patents for some of its technology and current product candidates or any future product candidates, Kineta may also rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain its competitive position. Elements of Kineta’s current product candidates or any future product candidates, including processes for their preparation and manufacture, as well as Kineta’s development platform, may involve proprietary know-how, information or technology that is not covered by patents, and thus for these aspects Kineta may consider trade secrets and know-how to be its primary intellectual property. Any disclosure, either intentional or unintentional, by Kineta’s employees, the employees of third parties with whom Kineta shares its facilities or third party consultants and vendors that Kineta engages to perform research, clinical trials or manufacturing activities, or mis
