AGENCY: National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Prospective Grant of
Exclusive Patent License.
SUMMARY: This is a notice in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR
404.7(a)(1)(i) that the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (‘‘NIST’’),
U.S. Department of Commerce, is
contemplating the grant of an exclusive
license in the United States of America,
VerDate Nov<24>2008

its territories, possessions and
commonwealths, to NIST’s interest in
the invention embodied in U.S. Patent
No. 6,088,679 (Application No. 08/
980,908), titled ‘‘Workflow Management
Employing Role-based Access Control,’’
NIST Docket No. 96–052 to Rockwise,
Inc., having a place of business at 223
Surnac Circle, Morgantown, WV 26508.
The grant of the license would be for the
field of use: HealthCare Information
Technology.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J.
Terry Lynch, National Institute of
Standards and Technology, Office of
Technology Partnerships, 100 Bureau
Drive, Stop 2200, Gaithersburg, MD
20899, Phone 301–975–2691.
The
prospective exclusive license will be
royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless,
within thirty days from the date of this
published Notice, NIST receives written
evidence and argument which establish
that the grant of the license would not
be consistent with the requirements of
35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The
availability of the invention for
licensing was published in the Federal
Register on March 4, 1998.
U.S. Patent No. 6,088,679 is owned by
the U.S. government, as represented by
the Secretary of Commerce. The patent
involves a workflow sequence specified
by a process definition that is managed
by a workflow management system
which enacts each segment in the order
specified by that process definition.
Role-based access control (RBAC) is
used to define membership of
individuals in groups, i.e., to assign
individuals to roles, and to then activate
the roles with respect to the process at
appropriate points in the sequence. Any
individual belonging to the active role
can perform the next step in the
business process. Changes in the duties
and responsibilities of individuals as
they change job assignments are greatly
simplified, as their role memberships
are simply reassigned; the workflow
process is unaffected.
