 of certain software patents and may make it more difficult and costly to prosecute patent applications.

We enter into confidentiality agreements or other agreements that contain confidentiality provisions with our employees, consultants, vendors, and clients, and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. However, such agreements may not be enforceable in full or in part in all jurisdictions and no assurance can be given that such agreements will be effective in controlling access to, or distribution, use, misuse, misappropriation, reverse-engineering, or disclosure of our proprietary information, know-how, and trade secrets. In addition, any breach of these agreements could negatively affect our business and our remedy for such breach may be limited. Further, these agreements may not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our platform, products, and services. As such, we cannot guarantee that the steps taken by us to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, and distribution of our proprietary information will prevent misappropriation of our technology.

We currently pursue, and may in the future pursue, the registration of our patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and domain names in the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions. These application processes are expensive and may not be successful in all jurisdictions or for every such application, and we may not pursue such protections in all jurisdictions that may be relevant, for all our goods or services, or in every class of goods and services in which we operate. Additionally, we may not be able to obtain, maintain, protect, exploit, defend, or enforce our intellectual property rights in jurisdictions in which we currently or may in the future operate. For example, effective trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products are or will be available or where we have employees or independent contractors. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our platform, product, and services by copying functionality. In addition, any changes in the trade secret, employment, and other intellectual property laws in any country in which we may potentially operate may compromise our ability to enforce our trade secrets and other intellectual property rights. The legal systems of certain foreign countries do not favor the enforcement of patents,

If we fail to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property
