#### Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property rights, including those in our proprietary technology, software, data, processes, know-how, and brand, are an important aspect of our business and help us maintain our competitive position. To establish and protect our rights in our intellectual property, we rely upon a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, and contractual restrictions such as confidentiality agreements, licenses, and intellectual property assignment agreements.

As of June 1, 2025, we have six trademark registrations and three trademark applications in the United States, as well as 80 trademark registrations and six trademark applications in foreign jurisdictions. We will pursue additional trademark registrations to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective. We also own domain names, including www.navan.com.

As of June 1, 2025, we have two issued patents and 14 pending patent applications in the United States, and 13 pending international patent applications. One of our issued U.S. patents expires in 2039 and the other in 2041. We continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property.

We control access to our intellectual property and confidential information through internal and external controls. Our practices require our employees and third parties who develop any material intellectual property on our behalf to enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements. Our practices also require third parties with whom we share our confidential proprietary information to enter into nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements or to be bound by professional, fiduciary or other contractual obligations requiring the applicable employee or third party to protect our trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and other confidential proprietary information, including those related to our proprietary AI models. However, we cannot guarantee that we have entered into agreements containing such obligations with each party that has been involved in the development of intellectual property for us or that has, or may have had
