Brokering use of media assets based on rights provided by rights holders and licensing terms requested by potential licensees. Rights include use attributes, geographic attributes, and time attributes. Use attributes include one or more parent categories of uses, such as print advertising, web promotion, etc. Each parent category includes one or more specific uses, such as magazine advertisement, newspaper advertisement, etc. Rights are obtained from rights holders and stored in a data structure that is searchable according to various rights attributes. A licensing request includes desired licensing terms, such as a specific use, time period, and geographic location. The licensing request may also reserve use for a later time and/or impose an embargo on use for a period after use. The data structure is searched for media assets whose rights encompass the desired licensing terms, such as media assets with a parent use that includes a desired specific use.

A system for licensing media assets operating on one or more computing devices comprising: a data structure that receives from a rights holder an inbound right to license a media asset and that stores a searchable data structure representing the inbound right, wherein the inbound right is defined at least in part by a use attribute comprising at least one parent use, said parent use defining a category of uses of the media asset, wherein each parent use includes at least one specific use that defines a specific use of the media asset within the corresponding parent use, and wherein the inbound right is further defined by at least one of the following: a geographic attribute that defines use of the media asset with regard to a geographic location; anda time attribute that defines use of the media asset with regard to a time period;a customer request processor in communication with the data structure manager and that receives through an electronic communication, a licensing request for a media asset that is available for license, wherein the licensing request includes a desired outbound right, said outbound right defined in part by at least the following:; a desired specific use of the media asset from within a corresponding parent use;a desired geographic coverage that defines the geographic location in which the license applies; anda desired time period during which the license applies; anda rights processor in communication with the data structure manager and the customer request processor, and that: identifies the media asset based on the electronic licensing request;automatically determines whether the desired outbound right is within the inbound right; andprovides a license for access to the media asset according to the desired outbound right, if the desired outbound right is within the inbound right. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the inbound right further includes at least one of the following: a contract level restriction that defines a limitation on use of the media asset if it is associated with a specific contract with a content owner;a session level restriction that defines a limitation on use of a group of related media assets; anda content level restriction that defines a limitation on use of subject matter content within the media asset. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein the desired outbound right includes at least one of the following: an exclusivity restriction that prevents the media asset from being further licensed for use during the desired time period; andan embargo period that specifies a period of time after the termination of the desired time period during which the media asset may not be licensed for use. 17. The system of claim 14, wherein the desired outbound right includes a desired specific use, and wherein automatically determining comprises determining whether the at least one parent use includes the desired specific use. 18. The system of claim 14, wherein the desired outbound right includes at least one of the following: a desired geographic coverage, and wherein automatically determining comprises determining whether the geographic attribute includes the desired geographic coverage; anda desired time period, and wherein automatically determining comprises determining whether the time attribute includes the desired time period.
