3. legal proceedings
As
a result of oppositional proceedings initiated by a third party in 2018, the Opposition Division of the EU Patent Office decided in
2019 to revoke two of the three European patents (EP 2.478.693 and EP 2.621.159) and in 2021 to maintain the third patent (EP
2.621.158). Following appeal hearings held in early 2024, the Board of Appeals revoked all three patents, with formal written
decisions still pending. The Company will decide whether to petition for further review of this matter after it receives the formal
written decisions. The revocations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s current business operations. In
addition, one U.S. patent of the same family is currently under reexamination proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office. Furthermore, opposition proceedings have been filed in the European Union Intellectual Property Office against the Company’s EU trademark applications for “Odysight” and “OdysightAI”. For additional
information about these proceedings refer to – “PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND TECHNOLOGY” above. Other than the above, we
are not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, or to which any director, officer or affiliate of our
Company, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, is a party adverse to us or
has a material interest adverse to us.
