 will nevertheless occur;

• our confidentiality agreements will not be honored or may be rendered unenforceable;

• third parties will independently develop equivalent, superior or competitive technology or products; or

• disputes will arise with our current or future strategic licensees, customers or others concerning the ownership, unauthorized disclosure of our know-how, trade secrets or other proprietary or confidential information will occur.

There can be no assurances that we will be successful in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, which could:

• adversely affect our relationships with current or future distributors and resellers of our products;

• adversely affect our reputation with customers;

• be time-consuming and expensive to evaluate and defend;

• cause product shipment delays or stoppages;

• divert management’s attention and resources;

• require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; or

There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain any such license on a timely basis or on commercially favorable terms, or that any such licenses will be available, or that workarounds will be feasible and cost-efficient. If we do not obtain such a license or find a cost-efficient workaround, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and we could be required to cease related business operations in some markets and restructure our business to focus on our continuing operations in other markets.

Our business may suffer if it is alleged or determined that our technology or another aspect of our business infringes the intellectual property of others.

The markets in which we will compete are characterized by the existence of many patents and trade secrets and also by litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Moreover, in recent years, individuals and groups have purchased patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract settlements from companies
