The Patents are not a certainty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is uncertain whether any third party patents will require us to alter our products or processes, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. In addition, if patents have been issued to others, which contain competitive or conflicting claims and such claims are ultimately determined to be valid, we may be required to obtain licenses to those patents or to develop or obtain alternative technology. If any licenses are required, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially favorable terms, if at all.
Competitors
Many of these competitors have products or techniques approved or in development and operate large, well-funded research and development programs. Moreover, these companies and institutions may be in the process of developing technology that could be developed more quickly or ultimately proved safer or more effective than our technology.
We face competition based on product efficacy, safety, the timing and scope of regulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position.
