 have the capability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them. Furthermore, patent holding companies, non-practicing entities, and other adverse patent owners that are not deterred by our existing intellectual property protections may seek to assert patent claims against us. Third parties have and may, in the future, assert patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights against us, our third-party partners, or our clients. We have received, and we may in the future receive, notices that claim we have misappropriated, misused, or infringed other parties’ intellectual property rights. As we gain greater market visibility, we may face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims.

There may be third-party intellectual property rights, including issued or pending patents and trademarks, that cover significant aspects of our technologies or business methods and assets. In the event that we engage engineers or other personnel who were previously engaged by competitors or other third parties, we may be subject to claims that those personnel have inadvertently or deliberately incorporated proprietary technology of third parties into our products or have otherwise improperly used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information. We may also in the future be subject to claims by our third-party partners, employees, or contractors asserting an ownership right in our patents, patent applications, or other intellectual property rights as a result of the work they performed on our behalf. In addition, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel.

Further, licensing technologies from third parties exposes us to increased risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims due to, among other things, our lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to such technology and the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks. We cannot be certain that our licensors do not or will not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties or that our licensors have or will have sufficient rights to the licensed intellectual property in all jurisdictions in which we may offer our platform.

In addition, we may use AI Technologies, including tools provided by third parties, to assist in the development of our own software code. While use of such tools makes our development process more efficient, AI Technologies have sometimes generated content that is “substantially similar” to proprietary or open source software code on which the AI tool was trained. If the AI Technologies we use generate code that is too similar to other proprietary code, or to software processes that are protected by patents, we could be subject to intellectual property
