Public patent records include U.S. Patent No. 11,860,849, titled "Watermark-based techniques for change-data-capture."

- no representation is made that this repository conveys any patent license from Netflix or any other third party;
- nothing in this repository should be understood as a statement that the described techniques are free of patent claims;
- anyone using, modifying, distributing, or commercializing this repository should make their own assessment of any relevant patent issues and whether separate patent permission is needed for their particular use; and
- this repository is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of Netflix, and it is not the code used internally at Netflix.
