See full text

A method for managing rights management policies for user access and use of digital documents with nontraditional rights control in addition to traditional rights management services (RMS) based on digital rights management (DRM) policies assigned to respective digital documents and their users and stored in an RMS database, including the steps of: a server, upon receiving a user's request regarding a document protected by one or more DRM policies, determining whether the document has additional nontraditional rights control for the user; the server checking a nontraditional policy service (NPS) database, and validating the user's information with one or more NPS database entries of NPS policy extensions pertaining to the document and the user, where the NPS policy extensions amend the DRM policies with additional nontraditional rights control; and the server denying the user's request if the user's information cannot be validated by anyone of said one or more NPS database entries of the NPS policy extensions pertaining to the document and the user, or granting the user's request if the user's information can be validated by all of said one or more NPS database entries of the NPS policy extensions pertaining to the document and the user.
