Risks of Intellectual Property Infringement and Erosion of Competitive Advantages

「The Group's intellectual property rights may be infringed by third parties, or the Group may unintentionally infringe third parties' intellectual property rights, due to accelerating technological advances and intensifying competition in advanced technology fields, uncertainty regarding the scope and interpretation of rights, and other factors. In addition, the rapid evolution of AI technology and other developments may cause the competitive advantages of existing technologies and intellectual property to decline on a relative basis, or may require additional research and development investment or the acquisition of intellectual property rights in response to changes in the business environment.」
