combination of patents. We have a registered service mark for the Netflix name and have filed applications for
additional trademarks and service marks. Our software, the content of our Web site and other material which we
create is protected by copyright. We also protect certain details about our business methods, processes and
strategies as trade secrets, and keep confidential information that we believe gives us a competitive advantage.
Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks. Enforcement of
intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming. To date, we have relied primarily on proprietary
processes and know-how to protect our intellectual property. It is uncertain if and when our other patent and
trademark applications may be allowed and whether they will provide us with a competitive advantage.
From time to time, we encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We
cannot assure you that we will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.
