Risks Relating to Kineta’s Intellectual Property

If Kineta is unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for its platform technologies and product candidates, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection is not sufficiently broad, Kineta’s competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to Kineta’s, and Kineta’s ability to successfully commercialize its products may be adversely affected.

Kineta relies upon a combination of patents, know-how and confidentiality agreements to protect the intellectual property related to Kineta’s products and technologies and to prevent third parties from copying and surpassing Kineta’s achievements, thus eroding Kineta’s competitive position in Kineta’s market.

Kineta’s success depends in large part on its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection, know-how and trade secrets for its development platform, product candidates and their uses, as well as Kineta’s ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Kineta seeks to protect its proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States and abroad related to Kineta’s novel discoveries and technologies that are important to Kineta’s business. Kineta cannot guarantee that its pending and future patent applications will result in patents being issued or that issued patents will afford sufficient protection of Kineta’s product candidates or their intended uses against competitors, nor can there be any assurance that the patents issued will not be infringed, designed around, invalidated by third parties, or will effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies, products or product candidates.

Obtaining and enforcing patents is expensive and time-consuming, and Kineta may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications or maintain and/or enforce patents that may issue based on Kineta’s patent applications,
