 or its licensors are prevented from enforcing patent rights against third parties, Kineta’s competitive position may be substantially impaired in such jurisdictions.

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 misappropriation by third parties (such as through a cybersecurity breach) of Kineta’s trade secrets or proprietary information could enable competitors to duplicate or surpass Kineta’s technological achievements, thus eroding Kineta’s competitive position in its market.

Trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect. Kineta requires its employees to enter into written employment agreements containing provisions of confidentiality and obligations to assign to Kineta any inventions generated in the course of their employment. Kineta enters into written agreements that include confidentiality and intellectual property obligations to protect each party’s property, potential trade secrets, proprietary know-how and information. Kineta further seeks to protect its potential trade secrets, proprietary know-how and information in part by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who are given access to them, such as Kineta’s corporate collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, CROs, CMOs, consultants, advisors and other third parties. With Kineta’s consultants, contractors, and outside scientific collaborators, these agreements typically include invention assignment obligations. Despite these efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose

Kineta’s proprietary information, including Kineta’s trade secrets, and Kineta may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable
