In the area of e-commerce of multimedia content, protection and management of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is a key issue. Using a broker as intermediary between copyrighted material purchasers and content providers helps, apart from increasing the market perspectives, to improve the way of handling the IPR aspects. The conditions in which multimedia content is sold may vary from one case to another, especially in a B2B environment. For this reason, negotiation of copyright conditions at the purchase moment is to become more and more important.We are developing an application that represents IPR information using metadata and uses a specific protocol for negotiation purposes. All of this in a broker-based multimedia content e-commerce system. We are also experimenting with the use of agent technology to implement the negotiation protocol. The result of the negotiation is an electronic contract, that should be signed by the interested parties. Apart form specifying this data structure, we are working in the integration of an electronic signature mechanism using the XML Signature specification.
