Manya,

First, I think, "can not be <=" is the same as "must be >".
Drools is able to compare timestamps as primitive number types or as java.util.Date's. So without DSL you can directly (no matter, what type the timestamps are):
SomeClass(startTimestamp < endTimestamp, startTimestamp > $currentTimestamp)
where $currentTimestamp is a variable binding done earlier in the rule. Since clock support is introduced not until Drools 5, you have to insert a virtual clock object in the working memory, which you have to update with certain mechanism to the current system time.
If you have your solution without DSL it should not be difficult to cast and abstract this into a DSL.
