System For Controlling The Distribution And Use Of Digital Works Using Digital Tickets

View page
US Patent:
6708157, Mar 16, 2004
Filed:
Feb 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/778001
Inventors:
Mark J. Stefik - Portola Valley CA
Peter L. T. Pirolli - El Cerrito CA
Assignee:
ContentGuard Holdings Inc. - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
G06F 1760
US Classification:
705 59, 705 51, 705 54, 705 1, 705 67, 707 9, 707 10, 380227, 380230, 380229, 380228, 380278
Abstract:
A system for controlling the distribution and use of digital works using digital tickets. In the present invention, a âdigital ticketâ is used to entitle the ticket holder to exercise some usage right with respect to a digital work. Usage rights are used to define how a digital work may be used or distributed. Each usage right may specify a digital ticket which must be present before the right may be exercised. Digital works are stored in repositories which enforce a digital works usage rights. Each repository has a âgeneric ticket agentâ which punches tickets. In some instances only the generic ticket agent is necessary. In other instances, punching by a âspecial ticket agentâ residing on another repository may be needed.
