 and perhaps all, of the patent protection on one or more of Veea’s products or technology. Such a loss of patent protection could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 25 Obtaining and maintaining Veea’s patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment, and other requirements imposed by government patent agencies, and Veea’s patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements. Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees, and various other government fees on patents and applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO and various government patent agencies outside of the U.S. over the lifetime of Veea’s owned or licensed patents and applications. The USPTO and various non-U.S. government agencies require compliance with several procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In some cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. There are situations, however, in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in a partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, potential competitors might be able to enter the market with similar or identical products or technology, which could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Changes in patent law in the U.S. or worldwide could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing Veea’s ability to protect any products Veea may develop and Veea’s technology. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of patent laws in the U.S. and worldwide, including patent reform legislation such as the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the “ Leahy-Smith Act”), could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of any owned or in-licensed patent applications and the maintenance, enforcement or defense of any in-licensed issued patents and issued patents Veea may own or in-license in the future. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These changes include provisions that affect the way patent applications are prosecuted, redefine prior art, provide more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge the validity of patents, and enable third-party submission of prior art to the USPTO during patent prosecution and additional procedures to attack the validity of a patent at USPTO administered post-gr
