appropriation 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. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. If any of Kineta’s trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, Kineta would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with Kineta. If any of Kineta’s trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, Kineta’s competitive position would be harmed.

Kineta may become subject to claims challenging the inventorship or ownership of its patents and other intellectual property.

Kineta may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in Kineta’s patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor. The failure to name the proper inventors on a patent application can result in the patents issuing thereon being unenforceable. Inventorship disputes may arise from conflicting views regarding the contributions of different individuals named as inventors, the effects of foreign laws where foreign nationals are involved in the development of the subject matter of the patent, conflicting obligations of third parties involved in developing Kin
