Patent number: 9898715Abstract: System and methods for manipulating rights expressions for use in connection with a rights management system include one or more tokenized templates. Each tokenized template includes one or more rights expression language statements and one or more tokens associated with at least one of the rights expression language statements. Further, the tokens can be place holders for data items or rights expression elements. The system further includes a license template module that creates the tokenized templates, and a license instance creation module that replaces at least one of the tokens in one or more selected license templates with one or more of the data items or rights expression elements to generate a license instance. Additionally, the system includes a license instance analysis module having sub-modules for validating and interpreting license instances, and a data parsing module for extracting data from created license instances.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: ContentGuart Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Edgardo Valenzuela, Eddie J. Chen, Thomas DeMartini, Joseph Zhung Yee Fung, Mai Nguyen, Vincent Hsiang Tieu, Duc Tran

Publication number: 20110209223Abstract: Extensible grammar-based rights expression system for processing rights expressions including an interpreter with plug-in subcomponents, a validator, and a framework. In another embodiment, system includes a framework having an extensible architecture with extensibility points for adding extensions to the grammar, and an interpreter, the extensions defining semantics and syntax of new rights expressions. A method for processing rights expressions is also provided having the steps of registering plug-in components, making a programmatic call, finding and invoking appropriate plug-in components, evaluating the request against the grant, and returning an authorization result. In another embodiment, method includes the steps of providing an extensible grammar-based rights expression system having an extensible architecture with an interpreter, evaluating the request against the grant using the interpreter, and returning an authorization result.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2011Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: CONTENTGUARD HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Joseph Zhung Yee FUNG, Robert CHANCELLOR, Thomas DeMARTINI, Mai NGUYEN, Thanh TA, Vincent Hsiang TIEU, Duc TRAN, Edgardo VALENZUELA

Publication number: 20090327137Abstract: A method for creating a digital work having content and usage rights related to the content, the digital work being adapted to be used within a system having repositories for controlling use of content, the method including issuing a license to a consumer, the license permitting the consumer to access the content of the digital work to be created in the future. The issuing step further includes determining the usage rights that can be included in the license, the usage rights specifying a type of use of the content that is enforceable by a repository; electronically generating a license based on the usage rights; and creating the digital work as the content is being created or after the content is created, wherein the step of creating the digital work includes securing the content before the digital work is distributed to the consumer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2007Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Michael Charles Raley, Edgardo Valenzuela, Bijan Tadayon, Aram Nahidipour, Xin Wang, Guillermo Lao, Thanh Ta

Patent number: 7299171Abstract: Legality expressions are systematically pre-processed, organized, and stored to achieve faster real-time response, improved predictability, and increased reliability for queries against a large volume of legality expressions. Exponential improvements in both the time to locate the set of legality expressions matching specified search criteria and the processing costs of evaluating the request against the matching legality expressions are achieved using the disclosed systems, devices, and methods. The systems, devices, and methods are unique to the optimization of legality expression processing, but they can also enable the use of other optimization techniques for processing large amounts of data.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2004Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: ContentGuard Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Thanh Ta, Eddie Chen, Guillermo Lao, Edgardo Valenzuela
