MMRGlobal Announces Claim Construction Order Adopts Six of Eight Plaintiff Proposed Claim Terms

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2014) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF), through its wholly owned subsidiary MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (collectively, "MMR"), today announced that on September 3, 2014, a Claim Construction Order was issued in the consolidated patent infringement suits between plaintiff MyMedicalRecords, Inc., and defendant(s) Quest Diagnostics, Inc., Empty Jar, LLC f/k/a Jardogs, LLC, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., and WebMD Health Corp. and WebMD Health Services Group. MMR now looks forward to proceeding with discovery and preparing for trial.

At issue were claim constructions for eight different terms found in either U.S. Patent No. 8,301,466 ("the '466 patent"), U.S. Patent No. 8,498,883 ("the '883 patent"), or both. Of the eight claim terms in dispute, the Court ruled that the plain and ordinary meaning should be applied to six of the terms. In its order, the Court also adopted constructions favorable to MMR for key terms in dispute with respect to the '466 patent by affording the terms of their plain and ordinary meaning. The Company believes that the Court Order affirms the relevance of the '466 patent and the Company's intellectual property portfolio.

MMR also believes the Claim Construction Order helps identify additional licensing opportunities for its 13 issued U.S. health information technology patents including its recently received Clinical Trials patent as well as in continuing its prosecution of 17 pending applications in the U.S. and 34 issued and pending health IT patents in countries of commercial interest around the world.

The order follows a consolidated Markman Hearing held in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on August 19, 2014. MMR also feels fortunate to have received this ruling within weeks following the Markman Hearing and prior to proceeding with discovery which should enable the Company to focus discovery on the most relevant issues in the cases at this time.

MMR currently has 13 issued U.S. health IT patents including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,301,466; 8,352,287; 8,352,288; 8,121,855; 8,117,646; 8,117,045; 8,321,240; 8,498,883; 8,626,532, 8,645,161; 8,725,537; 8,768,725 and 8,775,212, as well as additional applications and continuation applications involving inventions pertaining to Personal Health Records, Patient Portals and other Electronic Health Record systems.
