DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology 

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, 

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. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
