There's also a risk of infringing third-party IP, leading to costly litigation, and the challenge of protecting trade secrets - Success depends on obtaining and protecting intellectual property; insufficient patent protection could allow competitors to commercialize similar drugs[327](index=327&type=chunk)[329](index=329&type=chunk)[335](index=335&type=chunk) - Patents have a limited lifespan, and the development timeline for drugs means patents might expire before or shortly after commercialization[330](index=330&type=chunk) - Patent applications may not result in issued patents, or claims may be narrowed, challenged, invalidated, or circumvented[331](index=331&type=chunk)[332](index=332&type=chunk)[336](index=336&type=chunk)[342](index=342&type=chunk) - Obtaining and maintaining patent protection requires compliance with procedural requirements; non-compliance could lead to abandonment or lapse of patent rights[345](index=345&type=chunk)[346](index=346&type=chunk) - Failure to obtain patent term extensions under Hatch-Waxman Amendments could shorten exclusive marketing rights[347](index=347&type=chunk)[348](index=348&type=chunk) - Enforcing intellectual property rights globally is expensive and challenging, with varying levels of protection in different countries[349](index=349&type=chunk)[350](index=350&type=chunk)[351](index=351&type=chunk) - Risk of costly, time-consuming, and potentially unsuccessful lawsuits to protect or enforce patents against infringers or challenges[352](index=352&type=chunk)[354](index=354&type=chunk)[355](index=355&type=chunk)[357](index=357&type=chunk)[358](index=358&type=chunk)[359](index=359&type=chunk) - Risk of being sued for infringing third-party intellectual property rights, leading to costly litigation, potential license requirements, or forced cessation of development/commercialization[360](index=360&type=chunk)[361](index=361&type=chunk)[362](index=362&type=chunk)[363](index=363&type=chunk)[364](index=364&type=chunk) - Need to license certain intellectual property from third parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms[366](index=366&type=chunk) - Inability to protect the confidentiality of trade secrets could harm business and competitive position[367](index=367&type=chunk)[368](index=368&type=chunk) - Risk of claims for wrongful use or disclosure of competitors' trade secrets or breach of non-competition agreements[369](index=369&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Business Organization and Governance, Strategy, Employees and Growth Management](index=122&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Business%20Organization%20and%20Governance%2C%20Strategy%2C%20Employees%20and%20Growth%20Management) The company's growth and success depend on attracting and retaining key personnel, effectively managing business expansion, and integrating potential acquisitions.

The remote work environment and global restrictions could negatively impact productivity, increase cybersecurity risks, and lead to significant economic slowdowns - The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, supply chains, and financial markets, with uncertain future impacts on the company's business and operating results[393](index=393&type=chunk)[394](index=394&type=chunk) - Ongoing clinical trials may be delayed or compromised, and the ability to conduct new trials may be adversely impacted due to patient enrollment issues, travel restrictions, and healthcare system prioritization of COVID-19[395](index=395&type=chunk)[396](index=396&type=chunk)[405](index=405&type=chunk)[407](index=407&type=chunk) - Supply chain disruptions are a risk, particularly for products manufactured in countries affected by quarantines and travel restrictions (e.g., UKONIQ in India, ublituximab in South Korea, TG-1701 in China)[312](index=312&type=chunk)[398](index=398&type=chunk) - Health authority inspections and regulatory reviews may be delayed, impacting approval timelines[397](index=397&type=chunk) - Increased reliance on remote work arrangements may negatively impact productivity, increase cybersecurity risks, and disrupt business operations[399](index=399&type=chunk) - Commercialization efforts for UKONIQ and future products may be adversely impacted by restrictions and safety measures, affecting interactions with healthcare providers[400](index=400&type=chunk) - The pandemic could lead to a global recession, reducing access to capital and adversely affecting the company's stock value[401](index=401&type=chunk) [General Risks (Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Being a Publicly-Traded Company)](index=136&type=section&id=General%20Risks%20(Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Common%20Stock%20and%20Being%20a%20Publicly-Traded%20Company)) The company's common stock price is highly volatile, influenced by clinical results, regulatory approvals, competition, and economic factors. As a public company, it incurs significant compliance costs and management time. Future sales of common stock could cause price declines, and the absence of cash dividends means capital appreciation is the sole source of gain for stockholders - The trading price of common stock is highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to various factors, including clinical results, regulatory approvals, competition, and economic conditions[411](index=411&type=chunk)[412](index=412&type=chunk) - The company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future; capital appreciation will be the sole source of gain for stockholders[413](index=413&type=chunk) - An active trading market for common stock may not be sustained, limiting investors' ability to resell shares[416](index=416&type=chunk) - Lack of equity research analyst coverage or negative evaluations could cause the stock price to decline[417](index=417&type=chunk) - Operating as a public company incurs significant legal, accounting, and compliance costs (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley Act), diverting management time and resources[418](index=418&type=chunk)[419](index=419&type=chunk) - Volatility in stock price may lead to securities litigation, incurring substantial costs and diverting management's attention[420](index=420&type=chunk)[422](index=422&type=chunk) - Future sales of common stock by the company or insiders, or shares issued upon option exercise, could cause the stock price to decline[423](index=423&type=chunk) [ITEM 6.
