 our licensors are aware, but
which we do not believe affects the validity or enforceability of a claim, which may, nonetheless, ultimately be found to affect the validity
or enforceability of a claim through a post-issuance proceeding or in litigation. No assurance can be given that if challenged, our patents
or those of our licensors would be declared by a court to be valid or enforceable, or that even if found valid and enforceable, a competitor’s
technology or product would be found by a court to infringe our patents.

Challenges raised
in patent infringement litigation may cause determinations that our patents or licensed patents are invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise
subject to limitations. In such events, third parties may use the discoveries or technologies without paying damages, licensing fees or
royalties to us or our licensors, which could significantly diminish the value of this intellectual property. We could also be adversely
affected if our licensors fail to prosecute and/or maintain patents licensed to us or terminate licenses granted to us to use their patented
technology. Thus, any patents that we may own, or to which we have rights through licensing agreements, may not provide sufficient protection
against competitors. Furthermore, an adverse decision in a judicial or administrative proceeding can result in a third party receiving
the patent claim scope sought by us, such as via an interference proceeding, which, in turn, could affect our ability to commercialize
our technology or products.

We may be unable to enforce
our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting
and defending patents covering our products in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Many companies have
encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. This could
make it difficult for us to stop infringement of foreign patents we own or in-license, if obtained, or the misappropriation of other intellectual
property rights. For example, some foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to
third parties. In addition, some countries limit the enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or
government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit.

Patent protection
must ultimately be sought on a country-by-country basis, which is an expensive and time-consuming process with uncertain outcomes. Hence,
we or our licensors may choose not to
