. In addition, certain countries in Europe and certain
developing countries, including India and China, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses
to third parties. In those countries, we may have limited remedies if our patents are infringed or if we are compelled to grant a license
to our patents to a third party, which could materially diminish the value of those patents. This could limit our potential revenue opportunities.
Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial
advantage from the intellectual property that we own or license. Finally, our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property
rights may be adversely affected by unforeseen changes in foreign intellectual property laws.

Our use of third-party open-source software
could negatively affect our ability to offer our products and services through our platforms and subject us to possible litigation.

We have incorporated, and may in the future incorporate,
third-party open-source software in our technologies. Open-source software is generally licensed by its authors or other third parties
under open source licenses. From time to time, companies that use third-party open-source software have faced claims challenging the use
of such open-source software and requesting compliance with the open-source software license terms. Accordingly, we may be subject to
suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open-source software or claiming non-compliance with the applicable open-source
licensing terms. Some open-source software licenses require end-users who use, distribute or make available across a network software
and services that include open-source software to offer to the public aspects of the technology that incorporates the open-source software
for no cost, make publicly available source code (which in some circumstances could include valuable proprietary code) for modifications
or derivative works created based upon incorporating or using the open-source software and/or to license such modifications or derivative
works under the terms of the particular open source license. If we combine our proprietary software with open-source software in a certain
manner, we could, under certain open-source licenses, be required to release or license the source code of our proprietary software to
the public. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated open-source software into software that we license from
such provider, we could be required to disclose any of our source code that incorporates or is a modification of our licensed software.
While we use tools designed to help us monitor and comply with the licenses of third-party open-source software and protect our valuable
proprietary source
