 a subsequent infringement
claim asserted by the owner of a senior trademark.

Numerous factors may limit any potential
competitive advantage provided by our intellectual property rights.

The degree of future protection
afforded by our intellectual property rights, whether owned or in-licensed, is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations,
and may not adequately protect our business, provide a barrier to entry against our competitors or potential competitors, or permit us
to maintain our competitive advantage. Moreover, if a third party has intellectual property rights that cover the practice of our technology,
we may not be able to fully exercise or extract value from our intellectual property rights. The following examples are illustrative:

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  we may not be able to obtain and/or maintain necessary licenses on reasonable terms or at all;  
 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  third parties may assert an ownership interest in our intellectual property and, if successful, such disputes may preclude us from exercising exclusive rights, or any rights at all, over that i
