  • Patent number: 11995609
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processing device receives a first digital fingerprint of a media item along with a first content management rule. The processing device separately receives a second digital fingerprint of the media item along with a second content management rule. The processing device determines that the received digital fingerprints are for the same media item based upon a match between the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint. The processing device determines that all rights to the media item have been accounted for, and then determines a set of actions to be performed for hosted media items comprising the media item based at least in part upon the first content management rule and the second content management rule. Processing logic may also perform a conflict resolution process for conflicting rights claims to the media item.

  • Publication number: 20050011778
    Abstract: A moisture resistant, biodegradable, corrugated device is described for use on containers or foods such as ice cream cones where there is a tendency for the viscous contents inside the container to drip, melt, or otherwise fall onto its container, creating an untidy concern for consumers, and leading to excesses in cost, clean up, and waste. In use, the package protector (Cone Cozy) is positioned near the top of the container to catch the dripping contents, sparing the consumer and the container the distastefulness of untidiness, costliness, and waste.
