 intellectual property rights that they believe cover certain of our products, processes, technologies or information. If such cases arise, we will evaluate our position and consider the available alternatives, which may include seeking licenses to use the technology in question on commercially reasonable terms, or defending our position. Nevertheless, we cannot ensure that we will be able to obtain licenses, or, if we are able to obtain licenses, that related terms will be acceptable, or that litigation or other administrative proceedings will not occur. Defending our intellectual property rights through litigation could be very costly. If we are not able to negotiate the necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms or successfully defend our position, our financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The price of our common shares is volatile and could decline significantly.

The stock market has at times over the last 15 years experienced periods of high and extreme volatility. If these market fluctuations continue or for other factors, including those listed below, the trading price of our common shares could decline significantly independent of the overall market, and stockholders could lose all or a substantial part of their investment. The market price of our common shares could fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, including, among others:

  difficult macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, unfavorable geopolitical events, and general stock market uncertainties, such as those occasioned by a global liquidity crisis and a fai...  

  receipt of large orders or cancellations of orders for our products;                                                              
  issues associated with the performance and reliability of our products;                                                           
  actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;                                                                    
  announcements of financial developments or technological innovations;                                                             
  changes in recommendations and/or financial estimates by investment research analysis;                                            
  strategic transactions, such as acquisitions, divestitures, or spin-offs; and                                                     
  the occurrence of major catastrophic events, including the effects of a possible resurgence of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  

Significant price fluctuations have occurred with respect to our publicly traded securities. The price of our common shares is likely to be volatile in the future. In the past, securities class action litigation often has been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. If similar litigation were pursued against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.

If we are subject to cyber-attacks, we could incur substantial costs and, if such attacks are successful, we could
