, conflicting marks or local legal restrictions. Additionally, the process of registering trademarks can be time -consuming, costly and subject to administrative or legal hurdles, particularly in regions with complex or underdeveloped intellectual property systems. The inability to secure trademark rights in key markets increases the risk of unauthorized use of our brands by competitors, counterfeiters and other third parties. This could harm our reputation, erode customer trust, diminish the value of our brands, and limit our ability to expand our operations or pursue strategic opportunities. Our ability to protect our intellectual property is also subject to the inherent limitation in protections available under intellectual property laws in the jurisdictions where we operate our business. Unauthorized parties may unlawfully misappropriate our brands, content, technology and other intellectual property and the measures we have taken to protect and enforce our rights may not be sufficient to fully address or prevent all third -partyinfringement. Advancements in technology, including advancements in generative AI technology, have made unauthorized copying and wide dissemination of unlicensed content easier, including by anonymous foreign actors. At the same time, detection of unauthorized use of our intellectual property and enforcement of our intellectual property rights have become more challenging, in part due to the increasing volume and sophistication of attempts at unauthorized use of our intellectual property, including from generative AI developers or users. As our business and the presence and impact of bad actors become more global in scope, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights in a cost -effectivemanner in other jurisdictions. In addition, intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which our products and services are distributed or made available through the internet. While it is our policy to protect and defend and have protected and defended vigorously our rights to our intellectual property, we cannot predict whether our steps taken to protect and enforce, or to require our licensors to protect and enforce, our intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent infringement, dilution, misappropriation or other violation of these rights. If we are unable to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, we may not succeed in realizing the full value of our assets, our business and profitability may suffer, and our brands may be tarnished by misuse of our intellectual property. We and the AMTD Group Inc. (see “Information about TGE — Intellectual Property — Intellectual Property Licensed Agreement with AMTD Group Inc.” regarding how we license domain names we use in our business from AMTD Group Inc.) are the registrants for numerous domain names for websites that we use in our business.
