 expensive and time-consuming,
may divert management’s attention from our core business, and may result in unfavorable results that could limit our ability to
prevent third parties from competing with product candidates.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights
throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on product candidates in
all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the
United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. The requirements for patentability may differ in certain
countries, particularly developing countries, and the breadth of patent claims allowed can be inconsistent. In addition, the laws of some
countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws of the United States. Consequently, we may not be
able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing
product candidates made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies
in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own product candidates and may also export infringing product
candidates to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These product
candidates may compete with our product candidates and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient
to prevent them from competing.

We do not have patent rights in all countries in which a market may
exist. Moreover, in jurisdictions where we do have patent rights, proceedings to enforce such rights could result in substantial costs
and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted
narrowly, and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, such proceedings could provoke third parties to assert claims
against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially
meaningful. Thus, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing and selling in other countries product candidates and services
that are the same as or similar to our product candidates and services, and our competitive position would be harmed.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting
and defending intellectual property rights in other jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing
countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating
to bi
