Open Text Assigned Patent

Open Text SA ULC, Halifax, Canada, has been assigned a patent (11836372) developed by Bruckner, Thomas, Bunzburg, Germany, Specht, Matthias, Grobenzell, Germany, and Carter, Nicholas, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, for an “archive center for content management.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Content is captured and archived at an archive center (AC) and, depending upon records management (RM) policy, is managed by the AC or under RM control by a content server (CS). Both the AC and CS may be part of an enterprise content management system. The AC provides a user-friendly interface through which retention zones may be defined, and functionality for applying RM policy. The functionality can be triggered via a specific content property or through a retention zone under RM control. The RM control can be turned on or off from within the AC using the user-friendly interface. Archived content is not moved or duplicated. Rather, metadata and a link to the storage location are sent to the CS which, in turn, creates a content server document that is linked to the archived content. Only a portion of archived content is exposed to the CS through the AC.”

The patent application was filed on 2023-01-04 (18/149792).
