, our patent applications and any future
patents may not adequately protect our intellectual property, provide exclusivity for our new products, or prevent others from designing
around our claims. Any of these outcomes could impair our ability to prevent competition from third parties, which may have an adverse
impact on our business.

If
we cannot obtain and maintain effective patent rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business and
results of operations may be harmed.

If
our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest
and our business may be affected.

We
have filed for trademark registration of certain marks relating to our branding. If our unregistered trademarks and trade names
are not adequately protected, we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be affected.
Our trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, or declared generic or determined to be infringing on other
marks. Competitors may adopt trade names or trademarks similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly
leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other
registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of our trademarks or trade names. In the long term, if we are unable
to successfully register trademarks and trade names and establish name recognition based on such trademarks and trade names, then we
may not be able to compete effectively, and our business may be affected. Our efforts to enforce or protect our proprietary rights related
to trademarks, trade secrets, domain names, copyrights or other intellectual property may be ineffective and could result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and could impact our financial condition or results of operations.

If
we are unable to maintain effective proprietary rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.

Historically,
we have relied on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect proprietary know-how that is not patentable or that
we elect not to patent; processes that are not easily known, knowable or easily ascertainable, and for which patent infringement is difficult
to monitor and enforce; and any other elements of our product candidate discovery and development processes that involve proprietary
know-how, information or technology that is not covered by patents. However, trade secrets can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect
our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by entering into confidentiality
