 and protect our rights in our proprietary intellectual property, we rely upon a combination of trade secret, trademark, patent, and copyright laws, and contractual restrictions such as confidentiality agreements, licenses, and intellectual property assignment agreements.

As of September 1, 2025, we had one trademark registration in the United States for the Wealthfront brand. The registration is effective through November 15, 2031, and may be renewed periodically; provided that we, as the registered owner, or our licensees where applicable, comply with all applicable renewal requirements including, where necessary, the continued use of the trademark in connection with similar services and goods. We currently have two pending trademark applications to register Wealthfront-based marks and may choose to pursue further registrations to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective. We also own several domain names, including www.wealthfront.com.

As of September 1, 2025, we had five issued patents in the United States. Our patents issued in the United States begin expiring in April 2042, excluding any patent term adjustment.

We maintain a policy requiring our employees, contractors, consultants and other third parties to enter into agreements that contain confidentiality provisions to control access to, and invention or work product assignment provisions to secure ownership of, our proprietary information. Intellectual property laws and our procedures and restrictions provide only limited protection, and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, or misappropriated.
