Patent number: 11257099Abstract: Techniques enable creation of a preview license for digital content. In some instances, the preview license indicates that it allows a content-consuming device to consume less than all of the content. This preview license may create a list specifying multiple portions of the digital content that the content-consuming device may consume. These techniques may also present to a device user an offer to purchase rights to consume all of the digital content after consumption of the preview-licensed portion(s). In other instances, a content server may embed the preview license into a content package that contains the digital content, allowing the server to distribute the package to multiple devices. In still other instances, the preview license may be bound to a domain rather than to individual devices. This allows member devices to share the digital content and the preview license, such that each member device may enjoy the preview experience.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Patrik Schnell, Clifford P. Strom, Adrian J. Oney, Mark L. Beaubien, Kedarnath A. Dubhashi, Alexandre V. Grigorovitch, Anand Paka, Satvir Randhawa

Patent number: 8627411Abstract: Techniques to share binary content are described. An apparatus may comprise a first related client having a message platform with a file share feature and an object store, the file share feature operative to retrieve a data object for a publishing client having a defined relationship with the first related client and a second related client, the first related client to send the data object to the second related client on behalf of the publishing client, and the object store operative to store and manage the data object using a unique name identifier received with the data object. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Naizhi Li, Maimoon Nasim, Matthew A Goldberg, Jeroen Vanturennout, Ranjib Badh, Arimand Samuel, Satvir Randhawa, Alex Odle

Patent number: 8539543Abstract: Techniques enable building a collection of data that defines an asset, with the data possibly having differing data types. These techniques are then capable of assigning arbitrary policy to that asset, regardless of which data types are present within the asset. In addition, these techniques enable packaging of this first asset with one or more additional assets in a self-contained envelope. Each asset within the envelope may similarly include data of differing data types. Furthermore, each of these assets may be assigned a policy that may be different than the policy assigned to the first asset. This envelope, or a collection of envelopes, may then be provided to a content-consuming device to consume the assets in accordance with each asset's specified policy.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Patrik Schnell, Clifford P. Strom, Kedarnath A. Dubhashi, Daniel Rosenstein, Mark L Beaubien, Alex McKelvey, Alexandre V. Grigorovitch, Anand Paka, Satvir Randhawa
