 referred to as the priority date. Therefore, patent applications covering its product candidates could have been filed by others without its knowledge. Additionally, pending patent applications which have been published can, subject to certain limitations, be later amended in a manner that could cover its product candidates. 48 NLS may become party to, or threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to its product candidates, including inter parties review, interference, or derivation proceedings before the U.S. PTO and similar bodies in other countries. Third parties may assert infringement claims against it based on existing intellectual property rights and intellectual property rights that may be granted in the future. If NLS is found to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, NLS could be required to obtain a license from such third party to continue developing and marketing its product candidates. However, NLS may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any inability to secure licenses could result in delays in the introduction of its products or lead to prohibition of the manufacture or sale of products by us. Even if NLS was able to obtain a license, it could be non -exclusive, thereby giving its competitors access to the same license. NLS could be forced, including by court order, to cease commercializing the products subject to the infringing intellectual property rights. In addition, NLS could be found liable for monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if NLS is found to have willfully infringed a patent.

Claims that NLS has misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on its business. NLS may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of its patents and other intellectual property. NLS may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in its patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co -inventor. For example, NLS may have inventorship disputes arise from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing its product candidates. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship. If NLS fails in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, NLS may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could
