98、sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus could have a significant negative impact on thetrading price of our common stock.Alpha Modus had net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in the past,and it may not achieve orsustain profitability.If Alpha Modus is un

99、able to continue as a going concern,its securities will have little or no value.The artificial intelligence(AI)technology market in which Alpha Modus participates is competitive.If Alpha Modus fails to adapt to changes in the AI industry,its business may be harmed.Alpha Modus may fail to protect its

100、 intellectual property rights and proprietary information.Alpha Modus will likely become subject to intellectual property disputes.Alpha Modus patent portfolio is subject to evolving legislation,regulations,and rules associated with patent law in theUnited States and other jurisdictions,which may ad

139、of Contents The artificial intelligence(AI)technology market in which Alpha Modus participates is competitive,and if it does not competeeffectively,its business,operating results and financial condition could be harmed.The AI market is competitive and rapidly evolving.The principal competitive facto

140、rs in Alpha Modus market include researchand development capabilities,industry know-how,continuous capital investment,product portfolio,among others.Many of AlphaModus competitors have substantial competitive advantages,including larger scale,longer operating history,greater brandrecognition,more es

141、tablished relationships with customers,suppliers and partners,and greater financial,research and development,marketing and other resources.As a result,Alpha Modus competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively thanAlpha Modus can to new or changing opportunities,technologies,standar

142、ds or customer requirements.In addition,somecompetitors may offer products,solutions and services that address one or more number of functions with greater depth,application,or functionality greater than Alpha Modus solutions and technologies.Alpha Modus existing and potentialcompetitors may develop

143、 and market new products,solutions and services with functionality comparable to it.If Alpha Modus isunable to compete successfully against its current or potential competitors,its business,financial condition,and results ofoperations may be materially and adversely impacted.If Alpha Modus fails to

144、adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology,evolving industry standards,changingregulations,and changing customer needs,requirements or preferences,its business may be materially and adversely affected.The AI industry market is subject to rapid technological changes,evolving industr

145、y standards,regulations and customer needs,requirements and preferences.The success of Alpha Modus business will depend,in part,on its ability to adapt and respond tothese changes on an effective and timely basis.If it fails to improve its technologies in a way that satisfies potential users orcusto

146、mers of intellectual property that keep pace with rapid technological and industry changes,its business,operating results andfinancial condition could be adversely affected.If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive products,solutionsand services at lower prices,more efficiently

147、,more conveniently or more securely,such technologies could adversely impact AlphaModus ability to compete effectively.Issues arising in connection with the use of AI in the market generally may result in reputational harm or liability to AlphaModus.As with many disruptive innovations,AI presents ri

148、sks and challenges that could affect its adoption,and therefore AlphaModus business.AI algorithms may be flawed.Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information.Inappropriate orcontroversial data practices could impair the acceptance of AI solutions.These deficiencies could undermine the d

149、ecisions,predictions,or analysis AI applications produce,subjecting the providers of AI technologies generally,including Alpha Modus,tocompetitive harm,legal liability,and brand or reputational harm.Some AI scenarios present ethical or data privacy issues.If AlphaModus enables or offers AI solutions

150、 that are controversial because of their impact on human rights,privacy,employment,or othersocial issues,it may experience brand or reputational harm.Risks Related to Alpha Modus Intellectual Property Alpha Modus may fail to obtain,maintain,and protect its intellectual property rights and proprietar

151、y information or preventthird parties from any unauthorized use of its technologies.Alpha Modus trade secrets,trademarks,patents,and other intellectual property rights are critical to its success.Alpha Modusexpects to rely on confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements with third parties t

152、o protect its intellectual properties.However,events beyond its control may pose threats to its intellectual property rights and the integrity of its technologies andbrand.Effective protection of Alpha Modus intellectual property rights is expensive and challenging.While Alpha Modus hastaken measure

153、s to protect its intellectual property rights by filing patent applications,pursuing patent prosecution,and obtainingpatents in the United States,such efforts are inadequate to guard against and prohibit potential infringement and misappropriation.In addition,Alpha Modus intellectual property rights

154、 may be declared invalid or unenforceable by the courts.Furthermore,AlphaModus cannot assure you that any of its pending patent or other intellectual property rights applications will ultimately proceed toregistration or will result in registration with adequate scope for its business.Some of Alpha

155、Modus applications or registrationsmay be successfully challenged or invalidated by others.If Alpha Modus intellectual property rights applications are notsuccessful,it may have to use different intellectual property rights for its affected technologies,or seek to enter into arrangementswith any thi

156、rd parties who may have prior registrations,applications or rights,which might not be available on commerciallyreasonable terms,if at all.If Alpha Modus fails to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights,its competitors may use itstechnologies without authorization.As a result,future custo

157、mers and partners could then devalue Alpha Modus technologies,andAlpha Modus ability to compete effectively may be impaired,which could have a material adverse effect on its business,financialcondition and results of operations.Alpha Modus will likely become subject to intellectual property disputes

158、,which are typically costly and may subject us tosignificant liability and increased costs of business.2025/5/10 23:35sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/forms-1.htm17/147Alpha Modus competes in markets w

159、here there are a large number of patents,copyrights,trademarks,trade secrets,and otherintellectual and proprietary rights,as well as disputes regarding infringement of these rights.Alpha Modus intends to enforce itspatent rights by bringing legal claims against other parties,and its competitors and

160、other third parties may,whether rightly orfalsely,bring legal claims against it for infringing on their intellectual property rights.The intellectual property laws in the UnitedStates,which cover the validity,enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights,are evolving,and lit

161、igation isa popular means to resolve commercial disputes.Any intellectual property lawsuits against Alpha Modus,whether successful ornot,may harm our brand and reputation.Prosecuting and defending intellectual property claims is costly and can impose a significant burden on our management andresourc

162、es.Any intellectual property litigation to which Alpha Modus becomes a party may require it to do one or more of thefollowing:cease selling,licensing,or using products or features that incorporate the intellectual property rights that Alpha Modusallegedly infringes,misappropriates,or violates;make s

163、ubstantial payments for legal fees,settlement payments,or other costs or damages,including indemnification ofthird parties;obtain a license or enter into a royalty agreement,either of which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all,inorder to obtain the right to sell or use the relevant int

164、ellectual property;or redesign the allegedly infringing products or services to avoid infringement,misappropriation,or violation,which couldbe costly,time-consuming,or impossible.Further,there is no guarantee that Alpha Modus can obtain favorable judgment in its legal cases,in which case it may need

165、 topay damages or be forced to cease using certain intellectual property that is critical to our technology or service offerings.Anyresulting liabilities or expenses or required changes to technologies may have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus business,results of operations,and prospects.8 2

167、glegislation,regulations,and rules associated with patent law,which may adversely affect its business.The success of Alpha Modus intellectual property business is heavily dependent on obtaining and enforcing patents.Patentacquisition and enforcement is costly,time-consuming,and inherently uncertain.

168、Obtaining and enforcing patents across variousindustries,including the artificial intelligence industry,involves a high degree of technological and legal complexity.Alpha Moduspatent rights may be affected by developments or uncertainty in U.S.or foreign patent statutes,patent case law,U.S.Patent an

169、dTrademark Office(“USPTO”)rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of foreign patent offices.In addition,the UnitedStates may,at any time,enact changes to U.S.patent law and regulations,including by legislation,by regulatory rulemaking,or byjudicial precedent,that adversely affect the sco

170、pe of patent protection available and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtainpatents,enforce against patent infringement and obtain injunctions and/or damages.For example,over the past several years,theCourt of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court issued various opinions,and th

171、e USPTO modified its guidance forpractitioners on multiple occasions,either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakeningthe rights of patent owners in certain situations.Other countries may likewise enact changes to their patent laws in ways thatadversely

172、diminish the scope of patent protection and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtain patents,enforce against patentinfringement,and obtain injunctions and/or damages.In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus ability toobtain patents in the future,this combination of events

173、 has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents,once obtained.Alpha Modus cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in its patents or in third-party patents,andwhether Congress or other foreign legislative bodies may pass patent reform legislation that is unf

174、avorable to it,which may,in turn,affect the value of its patent assets.Further,the United States and other governments may,at any time,enact changes to law and regulation that create newavenues for challenging the validity of issued patents.For example,the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act(described i

175、n more detailin the following risk factor)created new administrative post-grant proceedings,including post-grant review,inter-partes review,and derivation proceedings that allow third parties to challenge the validity of issued patents.This applies to all of Alpha Moduspatents.Because of a lower evi

176、dentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in U.S.federal courtsnecessary to invalidate a patent claim,a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for theUSPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidence would be insuff

177、icient to invalidate the claim if first presented in adistrict court action.In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus ability to obtain patents in the future,thiscombination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents,once obtained.Depending on decis

178、ions by theU.S.Congress,the federal courts,and the USPTO,the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable waysthat could weaken Alpha Modus ability to obtain new patents or to enforce its existing patents and patents that it might obtain inthe future.Additionally,new rules re

179、garding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost ofAlpha Modus enforcement actions,and new standards or limitations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impactAlpha Modus revenue derived from such enforcement actions.In addition,recent

180、federal court decisions have lowered thethreshold for obtaining attorneys fees in patent infringement cases and increased the level of deference given to a district courtsfee-shifting determination.These decisions may make it easier for district courts to shift a prevailing partys attorneys fees to

181、anon-prevailing party if the district court believes that the case was weak or conducted in an abusive manner.As a result,defendantsin patent infringement actions brought by non-practicing entities may elect not to settle because these decisions make it mucheasier for defendants to get attorneys fee

182、s.Finally,it is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level and outcomes can be unfavorable.It can be difficult to understand complex patented technologies,and as a result,this may lead to a higher rate of unfavorablelitigation outcomes.Moreover,in the event

183、of a favorable outcome,there is often a higher rate of successful appeals in patentenforcement litigation than more standard business litigation.Such appeals are expensive and time consuming,resulting inincreased costs and a potential for delayed or foregone revenue opportunities in the event of mod

184、ification or reversal of favorableoutcomes.Although Alpha Modus plans to diligently pursue enforcement litigation,it cannot predict with reliability the decisionsthat may made by juries and trial courts.Changes to patent laws in the United States and other jurisdictions could diminish the value of p

185、atents in general,therebyimpairing Alpha Modus ability to protect its product or its current or future product candidates.Alpha Modus success is heavily dependent on intellectual property,particularly patents.Obtaining and enforcing patents iscostly,time consuming and inherently uncertain.Patent ref

186、orm legislation in the United States and other countries,including theLeahy-Smith America Invents Act(the“Leahy-Smith Act”),contributes to those uncertainties and costs.The Leahy-Smith Actincludes a number of significant changes to U.S.patent law.These include provisions that have affected the way p

187、atent applicationsare prosecuted and have redefined prior art and provided more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge thevalidity of patents.In addition,the Leahy-Smith Act has transformed the U.S.patent system into a first-to-file system in which,assuming that other requ

188、irements of patentability are met,the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patentregardless of whether a third party was first to invent the claimed invention.A third party that has filed a patent application in theUSPTO after March 2013 but before Alpha Modus could th

189、erefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of Alpha Modus2025/5/10 23:35sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/forms-1.htm19/147even if Alpha Modus had made the invention before it was made by such th

190、ird party.This requires Alpha Modus or its licensees tobe cognizant of the time from invention to filing of a patent application.Furthermore,Alpha Modus ability to obtain and maintainvalid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between its technology and the prior art allow its t

191、echnology tobe patentable over the prior art.Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a periodof time after filing or until issuance,Alpha Modus cannot be certain that it was the first to either(i)file any patent applicationrelated to its product o

192、r product candidates,or(ii)invent any of the inventions claimed in its patents or patent applications.Evenwhere Alpha Modus has a valid and enforceable patent,Alpha Modus or its licensees may not be able to exclude others frompracticing the claimed invention where the other party can show that they

193、used the invention in commerce before our filing date orthe other party benefits from a compulsory license.Among some of the other changes introduced by the Leahy-Smith Act are changes that(i)affect the way patent applicationsare prosecuted,(ii)redefine prior art,and(iii)provide more efficient and c

194、ost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge thevalidity of patents.These include changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and provide newopportunities for third parties to challenge issued patents in the USPTO.Alpha Modus or its licensees may be subject to the r

195、isk ofthird-party prior art submissions on pending applications or become a party to opposition,derivation,reexamination,inter partesreview,post-grant review or interference proceedings challenging our patents.There is a lower standard of evidence necessary toinvalidate a patent claim in a USPTO pro

196、ceeding relative to the standard in U.S.district or federal court.This could lead thirdparties to challenge and successfully invalidate Alpha Modus or its licensees patents that would not otherwise be invalidated ifchallenged through the court system.Accordingly,a third party may attempt to use the

197、USPTO procedures to invalidate AlphaModus or its licensees patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in adistrict court action.Thus,the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding theprosecutio

198、n of Alpha Modus or its future licensees patent applications and the enforcement or defense of Alpha Modus issuedpatents,all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition,results of operations and prospects.9 2025/5/10 23:35sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/0001

199、64117225009330/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/forms-1.htm20/147Table of Contents Additionally,the U.S.Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years,either narrowing the scope of patentprotection available in certain circumstances or wea

200、kening the rights of patent owners in certain situations.In addition,there havebeen recent proposals for additional changes to the patent laws of the United States and other countries that,if adopted,couldimpact Alpha Modus or its licensees ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for Alpha M

201、odus or its out-licensed proprietarytechnology or Alpha Modus or its licensees ability to enforce Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietary technology,respectively.Depending on future actions by the U.S.Congress,the U.S.courts,the USPTO and the relevant law-making bodies inother countries,the laws

202、 and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken Alpha Modusability to obtain new patents;enforce or shorten the term of Alpha Modus or its licensees existing patents and patents that might beobtained in the future;shorten the term that has been lengthened by p

203、atent term adjustment of existing patents or patents that AlphaModus might obtain in the future;or challenge the validity or enforceability of Alpha Modus patents that may be asserted againstAlpha Modus by competitors or other third parties.Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect

204、on Alpha Modusbusiness.For example,with respect to patent term adjustment,the Federal Circuits recent holding in In re Cellect,LLC,81 F.4th1216(Fed.Cir.2023),that obviousness-type double patent analysis for a patent that has received patent term adjustment must bebased on the expiration date of the

205、patent after the patent term adjustment has been added,may negatively impact the term of AlphaModus patents.Finally,Europes new Unitary Patent system and Unified Patent Court(the“UPC”)may present uncertainties for AlphaModus ability to protect and enforce patent rights against competitors in Europe.

206、In 2012,the European Patent Package(the“EUPatent Package”),regulations were passed with the goal of providing a single pan-European Unitary Patent system and a newUPC for litigation involving European patents.Implementation of the EU Patent Package occurred in June 2023.Under the UPC,all European pa

207、tents,including those issued prior to ratification of the European Patent Package,will by default automatically fallunder the jurisdiction of the UPC.The UPC will provide Alpha Modus competitors with a new forum to centrally revoke Europeanpatents and allow for the possibility of a competitor to obt

208、ain pan-European injunctions.It will be several years before AlphaModus will understand the scope of patent rights that will be recognized and the strength of patent remedies that will be providedby the UPC.Under the EU Patent Package,Alpha Modus will have the right to opt patents out of the UPC ove

209、r the first seven yearsof the courts existence,but doing so may preclude Alpha Modus from realizing the benefits of the new unified court.Patent litigation is inherently risky because courts may find Alpha Modus patents invalid,not infringed,or unenforceable,andthe USPTO,or other relevant patent off

210、ice,may either invalidate Alpha Modus patents or materially narrow the scope of theirclaims during the course of a reexamination,opposition or other such proceeding.Patent litigation is inherently risky and may result in the invalidation of Alpha Modus patents,even if it is the plaintiff in anunderl

211、ying action.It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at any level.Although Alpha Modus intendsto diligently pursue enforcement litigation,it cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts.At the trial level,it is often difficu

212、lt for juries and trial judges to understand complex,patented technologies,and as a result,there isa higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation.The defendant to any case Alpha Modus brings may file as many appeals as allowed by right,inc

213、luding to District Court,theFederal Circuit and the Supreme Court.Such appeals are expensive and time-consuming,and the outcomes of such appeals aresometimes unpredictable,resulting in increased costs and reduced or delayed revenue which could have a material adverse effecton Alpha Modus results of

214、operations and financial condition.These appeals may also result in the invalidation of Alpha Moduspatents,which may have an adverse impact on Alpha Modus operations and financial performance.The enforcement of Alpha Modus intellectual property rights depends in part upon its ability to retain the b

216、oordinate its patent infringement litigation matters.As Alpha Modus intellectual property business evolves,Alpha Modus expects that it will become more difficult to find the best legal counsel to handle all of its patent enforcement mattersdue in part to potential conflicts of interest.This is becau

217、se,from time to time,the counterparties to litigation matters havepreviously engaged world class law firms that are specialized in connection with the industries of the patents at issue in suchmatters.These previous engagements may have,or may in the future,result in these firms being conflicted out

218、 of representing us.In addition,counterparties in Alpha Modus patent litigation matters may devote a substantial amount of resources to avoid orlimit a finding that they are liable for infringing on Alpha Modus patents or,in the event liability is found,to avoid or limit theamount of associated dama

219、ges.There is a risk these counterparties may file inter-partes reviews,reexaminations or otherproceedings with the USPTO or other government agencies in the United States or abroad in an attempt to invalidate,narrow thescope or render unenforceable the patents Alpha Modus owns or controls.If this we

221、 to represent Alpha Modus in infringement actions may result in unfavorable oradverse outcomes,which may result in losses,exhaustion of financial resources or other adverse effects which could encumberAlpha Modus ability to effectively operate its business or execute its business strategy.Alpha Modu

222、s cannot provide any assurancethat any prospective patent prosecution or litigation matters will result in a favorable outcome.Alpha Modus may experience delays in successful prosecution,enforcement,and licensing of its patent portfolio.The value of Alpha Modus patent portfolios is dependent upon th

223、e issuance of patents in a timely manner.More patentapplications are filed each year.Alpha Modus believes this increase in patent applications has resulted in longer delays in obtainingapproval of pending patent applications.If the USPTO experiences reductions in funding,it could have an adverse imp

224、act on thecost of processing pending patent applications and the value of those pending patent applications,negatively impacting the value ofAlpha Modus patent applications.Further,reductions in funding from Congress could result in higher patent application filing andmaintenance fees charged by the

225、 USPTO,causing an increase in Alpha Modus expenses.Application delays could cause delays inrecognizing revenue from these patents and could cause Alpha Modus to miss opportunities to license patents before othercompeting technologies are developed or introduced into the market.After prosecuting Alph

226、a Modus patents,Alpha Modus intellectual property business can incur significant general andadministrative and legal expenses prior to entering into license agreements and generating license revenues.Alpha Modus plans tospend considerable resources educating prospective licensees on the benefits of

227、a license arrangement with it.As such,AlphaModus may incur significant losses in any particular period before any associated revenue stream begins.10 2025/5/10 23:35sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225009330/for

228、ms-1.htm22/147Table of Contents Alpha Modus believes that it will frequently be engaged in litigation to enforce its patents,protect its trade secrets,ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others.Enforcement proceedings are typically protracted and complex.The costs are typ

229、ically substantial,and the outcomes are unpredictable.Enforcement actions divert managerial,technical,legal andfinancial resources from business operations,and there are no assurances that such enforcement actions will result in favorableresults for Alpha Modus.Patent litigation schedules in general

230、,and in particular trial dates,are subject to routine adjustment,and in most cases delay,ascourts adjust their calendars or respond to requests from one or more parties.Trial dates often are rescheduled by the court forvarious reasons that are often unrelated to the underlying patent assets and typi

231、cally for reasons that are beyond our control.As aresult,to the extent such events are an indicator of possible future revenue opportunities for Alpha Modus,or other outcomedeterminative events,they may and often do change which can result in delay of the expected scheduled event.Any such delaycould

232、 be significant and could affect the corresponding future revenue opportunities,thus adversely impacting Alpha Modusbusiness,results of operations and financial condition.Further,federal courts are becoming more crowded,and as a result,patent enforcement litigation is taking longer.AlphaModus antici

233、pated patent enforcement actions are expected to be almost exclusively prosecuted in federal court.Federal trialcourts that hear patent enforcement actions also hear criminal cases.Criminal cases tend to take priority over patent enforcementactions.As a result,it is difficult to predict the length o

234、f time it will take to complete an enforcement action.Moreover,AlphaModus believes there is a trend in increasing numbers of civil lawsuits and criminal proceedings before federal judges,and,as aresult,it believes that the risk of delays in patent enforcement actions will have a greater negative eff

235、ect on Alpha Modus businessin the future unless this trend changes.Because Alpha Modus patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037,its continued operations beyond those dates will depend onits ability to obtain additional patents with later expiration dates.Alpha Modus current patents are expected t

236、o expire in 2034-2037.If Alpha Modus does not obtain patents or other intellectualproperty with expiration dates that extend beyond those years,its operations would be adversely affected.Alpha Modus lack of patent enforcement and licensing experience could adversely affect its operations.Alpha Modus

237、 has limited patent enforcement experience and cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to effectivelymanage patent enforcement efforts.Patent enforcement litigation is complex and needs to be closely and carefully managed.Because Alpha Modus does not have experience in managing patent enfo

238、rcement efforts,it may not do so effectively,and itsenforcement efforts could be harmed as a result.Similarly,Alpha Modus has limited experience managing intellectual propertylicensing programs,and this lack of experience could impair its ability to execute its business plans.Alpha Modus may not be

239、able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.Filing,prosecuting,and defending patents in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive,andintellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States could be less extensive than those in the

240、United States.Alpha Modus may not choose,or be able,to obtain patent protection outside the United States.In addition,the laws of someforeign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States,even injurisdictions where Alpha Modus

241、 does pursue patent protection.Consequently,Alpha Modus may not be able to prevent thirdparties from practicing its intellectual property in all countries outside the United States,even in jurisdictions where it does pursuepatent protection.Competitors may use Alpha Modus technologies in jurisdictio

242、ns where it has not pursued and obtained patent protection and,further,may export otherwise infringing products to territories where Alpha Modus has patent protection,but enforcement is not asstrong as that in the United States.These products may compete with Alpha Modus technologies.Alpha Modus pat

243、ents or otherintellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreignjurisdictions.The legal systems of certain countries,particularly certai

244、n developing countries,do not favor the enforcement ofpatents,trade secrets,and other intellectual property protection,particularly those relating to technology products,which couldmake it difficult for Alpha Modus to stop infringement of its intellectual property.Proceedings to enforce patent right

245、s in foreignjurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert Alpha Modus efforts and attention from other aspects of its business,couldput its patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and patent applications at risk of not issuing,and could provokethird parties to asser

246、t claims against it.Alpha Modus may not prevail in any lawsuits that it initiates,and the damages or otherremedies awarded,if any,may not be commercially meaningful.Accordingly,Alpha Modus efforts to enforce intellectual propertyrights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant comme

247、rcial advantage from its intellectual property.Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to thirdparties.In addition,many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors.In2025/5/10

249、nt a license to third parties with respect to any of its patents,its competitive position may be impaired,andits business,financial condition,results of operations,and prospects may be adversely affected.Risks Related to Being a Public Company Alpha Modus will incur increased costs as a result of op

250、erating as a public company,and its management will devotesubstantial time to compliance with its public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.Alpha Modus will incur significant legal,accounting and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company,and theseexpenses may

251、 increase even more after Alpha Modus is no longer an emerging growth company,as defined in Section 2(a)of theSecurities Act.As a public company,Alpha Modus will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act,the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,and the Dodd-Frank Act,as well as rules adopted,and to

253、nd other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements.Moreover,Alpha Modus expects these rules and regulations to substantially increase its legal and financial compliance costs and tomake some activities more time-consuming and costly.The increased
