, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses, or we could be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which may require significant time, effort, and expense, and may affect the performance or features of our platform. If we cannot license or develop alternative non-infringing substitutes for any infringing technology used in any aspect of our business, we may be forced to limit or stop offering our platform, products, and services and may be unable to compete effectively. Moreover, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments, relating to our intellectual property rights, and if securities analysts

This could limit or delay our ability to offer new or competitive solutions and increase our costs. Third-party software we rely on may be updated inf
