 a causal relationship to the adverse event. Any safety issues could cause us to suspend or cease marketing of our approved products, possibly subject us to substantial liabilities, and adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

We may not be able to obtain marketing approval.

Even if we complete the necessary non-clinical studies and clinical trials, the marketing approval process is expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of the Products. If we are not able to obtain, or if there are delays in obtaining, required regulatory approvals, we will not be able to commercialize, or will be delayed in commercializing, the Products, and our ability to generate revenue will be materially impaired.

We rely on the protection of intellectual property rights.

Our commercial success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to develop new or improved technologies, instruments and products, and to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights or statutory protection for these technologies and products in Canada, the United States and other countries, such as the countries in the European Union and Asia. We intend to patent concepts, components, processes, industrial designs and methods, and other inventions and technologies that we considers to have commercial value or that will likely give us a competitive advantage. Despite devoting resources to the research and development of proprietary technology, we may not be able to develop new technology that is patentable or protectable. Further, patents issued to us, if any, could be challenged, held invalid or unenforceable, or be circumvented and may not provide us with necessary or sufficient protection or a competitive advantage.

In addition, despite our efforts to protect and maintain our patents competitors and other third parties may be able to design around our patents, if so awarded, or develop products similar to our products that are not within the scope of such patents. Finally, patents provide certain statutory protection only for a limited period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction and type of patent. The statutory protection term of our SkinJect patents expire between 2030 and 2035 and the statutory term of Antev's issued U.S. patents expire in 2039 (between 2044 and 2045 with respect to certain pending patent applications that have yet to issue) and, thereafter, the underlying technology of such patents will be allowed to be used by any third party, including our competitors. Moreover, the inventions covered by patents may be free to be used in countries for which there is no patent protection. A number of our competitors and other third parties have been issued
