ABSTRACT:
A method and system thereof for establishing legal rights and limitations regarding the use of electronically distributed intellectual property (e.g., a “digital rights framework”). The intellectual property is modeled and offered for different types of distribution (e.g., for sale, rent, etc.). In response to a request for access to and use of the intellectual property, the legal rights and limitations associated with the type of distribution requested are provided. For example, a hypertext reference can be used to invoke the legal rights and limitations associated with the type of distribution. An agreement to these legal rights and limitations is reached and executed, and stored for subsequent reference and use. The digital rights framework provides a method and system for processing information encoded in a standardized and extensible format (e.g., Extensible Markup Language, XML) for modeling and representing the legal rights, limitations and responsibilities for intellectual properties distributed, for example, over the World Wide Web using Internet Protocol.
