Appendix B. Non-Normative Text
{Non-normative}
This specification defines a profile for the use of the OASIS eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) [XACML3] to write and enforce policies for the purpose of providing access control for resources deemed intellectual property (hereinafter referred to as IP). Use of this profile requires no changes or extensions to the [XACML3] standard.
This specification begins with a non-normative discussion of the topics and terms of interest in this profile. The normative section of the specification describes the attributes defined by this profile and provides recommended usage patterns for attribute values.
This specification assumes the reader is somewhat familiar with XACML. A brief overview sufficient to understand these examples is available in [XACMLIntro].
For our purposes, IP may be defined as legal property rights over mental creations. IP owners can receive exclusive rights to their creations, if certain conditions are met. These exclusive rights can be exploited by the owner for profit, either directly through sales of products, or indirectly through licensing.
IP is an asset; perhaps the most valuable asset an organization has. IP can be licensed to other organizations in cases of outsourcing and/or to generate revenue from IP sharing arrangements.
IP value tends to increase when properly protected, though there are differing points of diminishing returns. IP protection doesn’t guarantee security; it just provides a compensation mechanism for cases of unlawful exploitation. IP valuation and protection are often criteria for venture capital investors.
Broadly speaking, there are four main categories of intellectual property: copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents. Copyrights confer time-limited exclusive rights of ownership and/or use to the creator of the work. A copyright is typically used to protect artistic works such as photographs, music, books, etc. Copyrights are internationally recognized, though there are differences in the terms and enforcement. When copyright protection and status ends, resources are said to become public domain.
Trademarks are the IP protection scheme of names, logos, symbols, products, etc. For example, in the U.S. there are 2 main types:
• For general usage, or for not-yet-registered trademarks ™
• For trademarks registered with the USPTO ®
Trademarks are also internationally recognized through the Madrid system, which requires registration through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations agency. The World Trade Organization also sets legal minimum standards for IP protection among member nations.
Patents are property rights granted to an inventor to prevent others from profiting from the invention for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted. Patents apply to processes, machines, articles of manufacture, or composition of matter (including biological), or derived innovations. Patents require detailed disclosure of information, designs, processes, etc. Patents are administered in U.S. by the USPTO, and are internationally recognized by WTO TRIPS, WIPO, and European Patent Convention. When patent protection and status ends, resources are said to become public domain.
Trade secrets are IP protection of formulae, processes, designs, information, etc. that are not easily obtainable that a business uses for competitive advantage. They are often protected by legal contracts such as non-disclosure agreements, non-compete agreements, or proprietary information agreements. Trade secrets are the most common form of industrial IP protection, and outnumber patents. However, trade secrets are most often categorized as “proprietary” information, and may not be discovered as trade secrets unless litigated. They are not federally protected in the U.S., though most states have adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. However, theft of trade secrets is prohibited by U.S. Economic Espionage Act of 1996. Trade secret status requires less disclosure than patents. Trade secrets are well protected by European Patent Convention as “know how”. No international treaties protect trade secrets, though WTO TRIPS, GATT, and NAFTA have provisions for trade secret protection.
Other IP related concepts, such as public domain and proprietary will be defined in the glossary section.
The attributes and glossary terms defined below are not an exclusive or comprehensive list of all the attributes that may be required for rendering authorization decisions concerning IP. For example, PDPs would have to evaluate other entitlements, such as group membership, from PIPs (Policy Information Points). This profile is meant as a point of reference for implementing IP controls, and may be extended as needed for organizational purposes. Software vendors who choose to implement this profile should take the attributes herein as a framework for IP controls, but allow individual implementers some flexibility in constructing their own XACML-based authorization policies and PDPs.
Organizations not only create and use intellectual property, but they also often grant rights and/or license their IP to other organizations for a variety of reasons. Companies often license copyrighted, patented, and proprietary information to sub-contractors to provide goods or services in return. The information may be exchanged under several types of legal agreements, e.g., proprietary information agreements or patent grants. Also, organizations may grant the use of their trademarks to other businesses or non-profit institutions via trademark grants. These legal documents which grant rights to IP resources to others generally require that the licensed IP is protected. Thus, the agreements form the basis of access control policies, which can be expressed in XACML.
The goals of this profile are to create a framework of common IP-related attributes upon which authorization decisions can be rendered, and to promote federated authorization for access to IP resources. This profile will also provide XACML software developers and access control policy authors guidance on supporting IP use cases.
Affiliation type
The type of organization to which a subject may belong. This profile lists a number of common affiliation types, including customer, supplier, partner, non-profit, government, primary contractor, sub-contractor, joint development, and authorized sub-licensor. In cases of joint development, organizations should agree on which resources were developed and by whom prior to the execution of the agreement (background IP), and determine rights and ownership of resources developed as a result of the agreement (foreground IP). The authorized sub-licensor value denotes organizations that have rights to sub-license resources that are granted by the IP-Owner.
Agreement identifier
A name, number, or other alphanumeric designator for referencing legal agreements which grant IP access.
Agreement type
The type of legal agreement which grants access to IP resources. Language granting rights to IP resources can be embedded in a number of different types of agreements. This profile includes URNs for the most common types: non-disclosure agreements, proprietary information agreements, technical data grants, patent grants, trademark grants, cross-licensing grants, and royalty-bearing.
Copyright
A form of limited and temporary government-granted monopoly which gives the creator of an original work some rights for a certain time period in relation to that work, including its publication, distribution and adaptation; after which time the work is said to enter the public domain. Copyright applies to concrete expressions of information, but not the information itself.
Covered resource
A resource that is named, described, or implied in an IP agreement as being covered or included in the terms of the agreement.
Covered subject
A subject that is named, described, or implied in an IP agreement as being covered or included in the terms of the agreement. (For example, a person who has an organizational affiliation with a party to an agreement might be a covered subject of the agreement.)
Effective date
The date on which an intellectual property license takes effect, thereby implying access for authorized purposes.
Expiration date
The date on which an intellectual property license expires, thereby terminating access.
IP-Designee
A person or entity that has been designated (directly or indirectly) by the IP-Owner to have certain rights to a particular IP resource.
IP-Owner
A designation for the person or entity that owns the intellectual property.
Marking
A visual indicator added to physical instances of intellectual property assets that provides policy and/or procedural guidance.
Organization
A company or other legal entity of which a person can be an employee or agent.
Organizational-Relationship
The organizational relationship of the subject’s organization (identified by the organization attribute) to the organization that owns the IP resource. Examples include “employee” and “contractor”.
Organization-Type
The type of organization referenced in Organization, which can include “commercial”, “non-profit”, and “government”. Other types could be created and used as needed.
Patent
A set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or his/her assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an invention.
Proprietary
Information developed by an organization for competitive advantage. “Proprietary” is used synonymously with “trade secret”. For this reason, this profile identifies trade secrets and related terms such as confidential as “proprietary”.
Public domain
Information that has been demoted from copyright, trademark, trade secret, or patented status. No intellectual property controls are usually necessary for items considered public domain.
Third-party proprietary
Intellectual property which has been legally entrusted to the care and use of another organization. To promote clarity, this profile utilizes the “Proprietary” resource attribute in conjunction with the “IP-Owner” resource attribute to express this concept.
Trademark
A distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, business organization, or other legal entity to identify that the products and/or services to consumers with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source of origin, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.
Trade secret
A formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, or compilation of information which is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable, by which a business can obtain an economic advantage over competitors or customers. In some jurisdictions, such secrets are designated as "confidential", “limited distribution”, or "restricted". Used synonymously with “Proprietary”.
The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

Many intellectual property access control decisions can be made on the basis of the resource’s copyright, trademark, patent, proprietary (trade secret), or other classification. This profile defines standard XACML attributes for these properties, and recommends the use of standardized attribute values.
In practice, an organization’s intellectual property protection policies will be a mixture of rules derived from legal agreements, along with enterprise-specific policies and government regulations.
PDPs (Policy Decision Points) may need to consider intellectual property protection schemes when evaluating authorization decisions. This profile is designed to provide a framework of additional <Attributes> for such decisions.
Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of a typical scenario in which IP protection is a concern.
Figure 1 Typical IP scenario (Organization names, CAGE [five position code that identifies contractors doing business with the United States Government, NATO member nations, and other foreign governments.], and DUNS [a system developed and regulated by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), that assigns a unique numeric identifier, referred to as a "DUNS number" to a single business entity.] are fictional.)
From Figure 1, the questions arise: which of people A-E can see which of documents 1-5? The goal of this profile is to support the creation of interoperable XACML policies that permit and deny access as intended by the prevailing business rules. One such rule might be: “If the subject’s organization matches the resource’s IP-Owner, then Permit.” Another might be “If the subject and resource are covered by the same agreement-identifier, then Permit.”
The conditions that determine IP access include properties and relationships of entities remotely related to the subjects and resources involved in an IP transaction. XACML relies on data-valued attributes directly attached to subjects and resource. Therefore, the complex object structure representing the real world must be condensed to data values of attributes in the XACML categories. For example, a XACML request context for subject A might have organization=”999999” and agreement-identifier=”Contract-0001”. In this case, one particular attribute of the organization object representing “Acme Inc.” has been selected to fill the XACML IP subject:organization attribute value. The multiple object relationships from person A to Contract-0001 have been telescoped into the single string value, “Contract-0001”, of the subject:agreement-identifier attribute. This “flattening” process is somewhat arbitrary; however, it must not introduce ambiguity, and may be influenced by performance or implementation considerations. Some of the attributes specified in this profile represent some such flattening process, and assume the existence of some types of remote objects that may not be represented directly in an XACML context.
NOTHING IN THIS PROFILE IS INTENDED TO BE A LEGALLY CORRECT INTERPRETATION OR APPLICATION OF U.S. OR ANY GOVERNMENT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS OR REGULATIONS. USE OF THIS PROFILE IN AN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS, REGULATIONS, OR RESTRICTIONS. THIS PROFILE HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED OR ENDORSED BY THE U.S. OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS, NOR BY ANY LEGAL EXPERT IN THIS FIELD.
Organizations that use this profile should ensure their intellectual property protection by engaging qualified professional legal services.
Information objects may contain more than one type of intellectual property. Therefore, it is possible that information objects may have more than one IP type categorization: copyright, patent, proprietary, public domain, or trademark. In cases where information objects have more than one true value for the IP type resource attributes, policy authors may utilize policies and policy sets with the appropriate combining algorithms to determine which policies take precedence in the evaluation process. A table listing IP type categorization overlaps is provided in Appendix B.

urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:resource:ip-owner
The DataType of this attribute is http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string. This attribute names the owner of the IP. A common scheme such as DUNS SHOULD be used to promote interoperability. The range of values for this attribute SHOULD be similar to that of the IP-Designee and Organization resource attributes.
IP-Designee classification values shall be designated with the following attribute identifier:
urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:resource:ip-designee
The DataType of this attribute is http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string. This attribute names the designated custodian of the IP. A common scheme such as DUNS SHOULD be used to promote interoperability. The range of values for this attribute SHOULD be similar to that of the IP-Owner and Organization resource attributes.

The business document representing the IP agreement that covers this subject shall be designated with the following attribute identifier.
urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:subject:agreement-id
The DataType of this attribute is http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string.
The <Obligation> element will be used in the XACML response to notify requestor that additional processing requirements are needed. This profile focuses on the use of obligations to encryption and visual marking. The XACML response may contains one or more obligations. Processing of an obligation is application specific. An <Obligation> may contain the object (resource) action pairing information. If multiple vocabularies are used for resource definitions the origin of the vocabulary MUST be identified.
The obligation should conform to following structure:
urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:obligation
The Encrypt obligation shall be designated with the following identifier:
urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:obligation:encrypt
The encrypt obligation can be used to command PEPs (Policy Enforcement Points) to encrypt the resource. This profile does not specify the type of encryption or other parameters to be used; rather, the details of implementation are left to the discretion of policy authors and software developers as to how to best meet their individual requirements.
The following is an example of the Encrypt obligation:
<ObligationExpressions>
<ObligationExpression
ObligationId="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:obligation:encrypt"
FulfillOn="Permit"/>
</ObligationExpression>
</ObligationExpressions>
Marking classification values shall be designated with the following identifier:
urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:obligation:marking
The marking obligation can be used to command PEPs (Policy Enforcement Points) to embed visual marks, sometimes called watermarks, on data viewed both on-screen and in printed form. Policy authors may use this obligation to meet legal or contractual requirements by forcing PEPs to display text or graphics in accordance with <Permit> decisions. This profile does not specify the text or graphics which can be rendered; rather, the details of implementation are left to the discretion of policy authors as to how to best meet their individual requirements.
The following is an example of the marking obligation:
<ObligationExpressions>
<ObligationExpression
ObligationId="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:ipc:obligation:marking"
FulfillOn="Permit">
