 use, lapse or expire, be challenged, narrowed, invalidated, misappropriated by third parties, or be deemed unenforceable or abandoned. In addition, the laws of some non-U.S. jurisdictions, particularly those of certain emerging markets, provide less protection for Innventure and the Innventure Companies’ IP rights than the laws of the U.S. and present greater risks of infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other misuse. To the extent Innventure, the Innventure Companies, and their MNC or other third party partners cannot protect their IP and confidential information, unauthorized use and misuse of that IP could harm their competitive position and have a material adverse effect on Innventure’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Furthermore, regulations governing domain names may not protect Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ trademarks and other proprietary rights that may be displayed on or in conjunction with their website and other marketing media. Innventure may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring or retaining domain names that are similar to, infringe upon, or diminish the value of their respective trademarks and other proprietary rights.

Despite Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ efforts to protect these rights, unauthorized third parties may attempt to duplicate or copy the proprietary aspects of its technology and processes. Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ competitors and other third parties independently may design around or develop similar technology or otherwise duplicate Innventure’s or the Innventure Companies’ services or products such that Innventure  or the Innventure Companies could not assert its IP rights against them. In addition, Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of its IP and confidential and proprietary information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of an unauthorized disclosure. Measures in place may not prevent misappropriation or infringement of Innventure’s or the Innventure Companies’ IP or proprietary information and the resulting loss of competitive advantage, and Innventure or the Innventure Companies may be required to litigate to protect its IP and proprietary information from misappropriation or infringement by others, which is expensive, could cause a diversion of resources and may not be successful.

Third parties may raise claims against Innventure alleging that Innventure, the Innventure Companies, their employees, consultants or other third parties retained or indemnified by Innventure or the Innventure Companies, infringe, dilute
