Subject: [xacml] US Patent Application
The following is an update of IBM's patent applications. As I said in the today's confcall, I would like to let you know about a US patent application . The US patent application is not a translation of the Japanese patent application I explained in the last F2F meeting but a counterpart to the Japanese published patent application. The final issuance of claims for the US patent application may not be identical to those issued for the Japanese application. The Japanese patent application is the parent (original) submitted application. I was not aware of the US application, when I disclosed the Japanese patent application. The discovery of the US patent application was as a result of an internal IBM patent search (which is not required by OASIS), in which IBM desired to be forthright to determine whether English documentation could be provided to the XACML TC. Title: ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM, ACCESS CONTROL METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM AND PROGRAM TRANSMISSION APPARATUS (Japan) Application number: H01-358178 (Japan) Filing date: 12/16/1999 (Japan) Publication date: 07/06/2001 (U.S.) Application number: 09/738484 (U.S.) Filing date: 12/15/2000 (U.S.) Publication date: 09/20/2001 Best Michiharu Kudo IBM Tokyo Research Laboratory, Internet Technology Tel. +81 (46) 215-4642 Fax +81 (46) 273-7428
