The Marlin Trust Management Organization (MTMO) acts as a neutral trust management and licensing organization for the Marlin Digital Rights System. See Marlin Developer Community below.See https://www.marlin-trust.com/

The Marlin Developer Community (MDC) is an open-standards community initiative that created the Marlin Digital Rights Management system. The MDC develops the necessary technology, partners, and services for enabling the creation of interoperable digital content distribution services. Marlin technology provides capabilities for consumers to manage the relationships among devices, network services, and digital content. With Marlin, service providers and device markers can create and support content services over open networks.see www.marlin-community.com

The Coral Consortium was an organization dedicated to provide a Digital Rights Management environment in which multiple DRM systems could interoperate. It was founded in 2004 by Hewlett-Packard Corporation, InterTrust Technologies, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Panasonic), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, Sony Corporation and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. The Coral Consortium has been dissolved in December 2012. Its last specification was available until April 1, 2013. Coral proposes an architecture whereby devices using different DRM technologies are able to join a Domain that allows them to exchange protected content securely. A device used by a family member wishing to play a music file that is stored on another family-owned device can use Coral to obtain a new copy (or license) in the correct format, with the Coral infrastructure managing the necessary permissions and translation of rights to the new device. In theory this should greatly ease the portability of protected media files between devices. Much of the work in the Coral Consortium has proven to be useful in the development of the UltraViolet (UVVU) system.
