  • Publication number: 20060116966
    Abstract: A license for a first component of a protectable content is verified and a license for a second component of the protectable content is verified. A license for the protectable content is then verified based at least in part on the verification of the license for the first component and the verification of the license for the second component.

  • Publication number: 20050125358
    Abstract: The disclosed technology can mitigate the risk of infringing a content owner's rights in legally-protectable content by operating as a trusted, third-party license authority between content owners and content users to ensure that a license governing at least some aspects of the protectable content is authentic and thus validly represents the restrictions imposed by content owners pertaining to the use, distribution, modification, combination, interaction, and/or other manipulation of such content. An identifier representative of the protectable content together with a profile of the license (which may include attributes that specify particular restrictions, uses, and interactions pertaining to the protectable content) can serve as a basis for determining the authenticity of the license associated with the protectable content.

  • Publication number: 20050125359
    Abstract: The disclosed technology can be used to develop systems and perform methods in which restriction, use, and/or interaction values can be assigned to license attributes associated with a first license to specify particular restrictions, uses (e.g., distribution), and interactions (e.g., manipulations) pertaining to a first protectable content. These restriction, use, and/or interaction values can be compared with corresponding attribute values associated with a second license and a second protectable content and such comparisons can serve as a basis for determining attributes associated with a third protectable content, where the third protectable content is based on a combination of at least some aspects of the first protectable content and the second protectable content.
