 property rights may be infringed, misappropriated, contested or circumvented, which could result in our intellectual property rights being narrowed in scope or
declared invalid or unenforceable. We may rely on agreements with employees and third parties to protect our unpatented proprietary information and technology, such as trade secrets and confidential information. Such agreements may be insufficient
or may be breached, which could potentially lead to the unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and other intellectual property, including to our competitors, which could diminish any competitive advantage we derive from the relevant
intellectual property. Our unpatented proprietary information and technology could also be compromised if our security measures or those of our third-party service providers are unable to prevent cyberattacks. Significant impairments of our
intellectual property rights, and limitations on our ability to assert our intellectual property rights against others, could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

We routinely apply and submit registration for our intellectual property rights related to our products and services in the United States and
internationally, particularly focusing on filing new patent applications for U.S. invention patents related to fintech technology. We have been running a long-term intellectual property incentive program to encourage employees providing their
creative ideas. We may incur time and resources in pursuing such application and registration of intellectual property rights, though these efforts may not always succeed. Further, certain foreign jurisdictions in which we operate may lack effective
intellectual property rights protection or may not protect our intellectual property rights in a similar fashion as under U.S. laws. We may need to expend additional resources to defend our intellectual property in these countries, and the inability
to do so could impair our business or adversely affect our international expansion. In some instances, we may be unable to or choose not to obtain legal protection for our intellectual property due to the cost.

Our intellectual property rights protection and management are implemented through the in-house team.
We maintain an effective chart of trademark asset management, including maintaining accurate records of trademark-related assets, documents, and registration certificates. We regularly monitor the patent publications and issued patents of potential
competitors and analyze the patent portfolio of the new competitors for researching their strengths and weaknesses. We also engage external advisors to seek their opinion about intellectual property portfolio strategy and to coordinate with their
local representations to carry out the application filing and maintenance in multiple jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that our intellectual property rights protection and management will be sufficient. In addition, there can be no assurance
that our intellectual property rights will be sufficient to protect
