 we rely to protect these technologies may be breached or may not be adequate to protect our proprietary technologies.  There can be no assurance that other countries in which we market our services will protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States.

Our competitors may develop, patent or gain access to know-how and technology similar or superior to our own.  The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims regarding the infringement of patent and other intellectual property rights.  If any third party makes an enforceable infringement claim against us or our customers, we could be required to:

•discontinue the use of certain processes or cease to provide the services at issue, which could curtail our business;

•pay substantial damages;

•develop non-infringing technologies, which may not be feasible; or

•acquire licenses to such technology, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

We may need to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights, including our rights under patent and intellectual property licenses with third parties, or defend ourselves against claimed infringement of the rights of others through litigation, which could result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources and may not be successful.  Furthermore, if we fail to obtain necessary licenses, our business could suffer, and we could be exposed to claims for damages and injunctions from third parties, as well as claims from our customers for indemnification.  Unfavorable outcomes in any legal proceedings involving intellectual property could result in significant liabilities or loss of commercial advantage and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.  The potential impact from the legal proceedings referred to in this Form 10-Q on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could change in the future.

We face risks in connection with the continuing development and implementation of changes to, and maintenance and security of, our information technology systems.

We depend on our information technology systems for many aspects of our business.  Our systems may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to failures during the process of upgrading, replacing or maintaining software, databases or components thereof, power outages, hardware failures, interruption or failures of third-party provider systems, computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers, ransomware attacks, telecommunication failures, user errors, malfeasance or catastrophic events.  Such events have occurred in the past and may occur in the future.  Cybersecurity breaches could result in unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and/or disruptions to our operations.
