 A number of foreign countries do not protect
intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, RET’s potential intellectual property
rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States and efforts to protect against the unauthorized use of
RET’s intellectual property rights, technology and other proprietary rights may be more expensive and difficult outside of the United
States. If RET fails to adequately protect its future technology and intellectual property, its licensees and competitors may seek to
use its technology and intellectual property without the payment of license fees and royalties, which could weaken its competitive position,
reduce its operating results and increase the likelihood of costly litigation.

The intellectual property rights of others may prevent RET from commercializing its products or developing new technology or entering new markets, and RET’s business may suffer or be exposed to liability or costly litigation if third parties assert that RET violates their intellectual property rights.

RET’s success depends in part on its ability
to commercialize its products and continually adapt to incorporate new technologies and to expand into markets that may be created by
new technologies. However, RET may become subject to intellectual property disputes that prevent it from commercializing its products,
introducing new technologies or expanding into new markets. Therefore, RET’s success depends, in part, on its ability to develop
and commercialize its products without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of third parties.
However, RET may not be aware that its products are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating third-party intellectual property
rights and such third parties may bring claims alleging such infringement, misappropriation or violation. For example, there may be issued
patents of which RET is unaware, held by third parties that, if found to be valid and enforceable, could be alleged to be infringed by
RET’s offerings. There also may be pending patent applications of which RET is not aware that may result in issued patents, which
could be alleged to be infringed by RET’s offerings. Because patent applications can take years to issue and are often afforded
confidentiality for some period of time there may currently be pending applications, unknown to RET, that later result in issued patents
that could cover RET’s future technologies. Lawsuits can be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, and they divert management’s
time and attention. RET’s platform may not be able to withstand any third-party claims against its use. In addition, many companies
