 provide only limited protection and any
of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, or misappropriated. Further, intellectual property protection may not be available to us in every country in which our products are available and the laws
of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and, therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that our
intellectual property rights will be sufficient to protect against others offering products or technologies that are substantially similar to ours and that compete with our business. See “Risk factors—Risks related to intellectual
property—Our intellectual property rights are valuable. Any inability to protect and enforce such intellectual property rights could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects” for a more
comprehensive description of risks related to our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. The results of litigation and
claims cannot be predicted with certainty. Refer to “Risk factors—Risks related to our business and industry—We are and may continue to be subject to litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as regulatory
audits, disputes, inquiries, investigations, and enforcement actions by regulators and governmental authorities” and Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for a summary of legal proceedings to
which we are a party.
