. In light of the HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule, recent enforcement activity, and statements from HHS, we expect increased federal and state HIPAA privacy and security enforcement efforts in the future.

Many states in which we may operate and in which our partners are located also have laws or are in the process of adopting laws that protect the privacy and security of sensitive and personal information, including health information. These laws may be similar to or even more protective or broader than HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. Where state laws are more protective or broader than HIPAA, we must comply with the state laws we are subject to, in addition to HIPAA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify our planned operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but, unlike HIPAA, some may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. In addition, state laws are changing rapidly, and there may be new federal privacy laws or federal breach notification laws, to which we may be subject.

Intellectual Property

We have historically relied on a combination of intellectual property, including patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright, trade secret and domain name protection laws, as well as confidentiality and license agreements, to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights. In connection with the development of our platform, we have completed a competitive patent audit and are currently preparing an initial submission for a patent application for the platform.

Seasonality

Our business is generally not seasonal. However, we may experience moderate development or milestone fluctuations, at certain periods of the year leading to common terms for vacations, holidays, and inclement weather, such as July/August, November, and December.

Environmental Matters

We have no material expenditures for compliance with Federal, State or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.

Properties

Our principal executive offices are located in New York, New York. The Company leases approximately 9,600 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space in Dodge City, Kansas with a ten-year term that began on January 1, 2017. We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current needs. We believe that suitable additional space or substitute space will be available in the future to accommodate our operations as needed.
