FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MMRGlobal & Defendants in Patent Suits Amenable to Settlement Talks in
Federal Appellate Mediation Program
LOS ANGELES, CA (February 9, 2015) - MMRGlobal, Inc.
(OTCQB: MMRF), through its wholly owned subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (collectively, "MMR"), today announced that in their respective
Docketing Statements filed with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, MMR, WebMD and Quest Diagnostics confirmed that they would participate in an Appellate
Mediation Program at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On February 5, 2015, WebMD and Quest Diagnostics filed their respective Docketing
Statements that they were amenable to mediation by the Appellate Mediation Program. In the filings, WebMD and Quest Diagnostics acknowledged that past settlement
negotiations with MMR had occurred following the orders which are the subject of the appeal, and both agreed that mediation may assist in the efficient resolution of the
matters. Although assignment to mediation is at the discretion of the Circuit Executive, once selected, participation in the mediation program is mandatory. The
assignment to mediation is not confidential, however, the substance of any settlement talks or mediation is confidential and may not be disclosed by any
participant.
The Company also announced that it plans to report significantly higher revenue from retailers in its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, exceeding total fourth quarter
revenues from all sources in the prior year. In addition, the Company previously announced that 2014 would be its biggest year since inception.
MMR is currently appealing (Case Nos. 2:13-CV-02538, 2:13-CV-07285 & 2:13-CV-03560 consolidated as 2:13-CV-00631) to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit. In MMR's January 28, 2015 Docketing Statement in the appeal, it stated it was amenable to entry into the Appellate Mediation Program because "[]the
underlying district court orders were issued prior to the Supreme Court's [January 20, 2015] ruling in Teva Pharm. USA, Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., [574 U.S. ___], 2015 U.S. Dist.
Lexis 628 (2015), which directly contradicts the district court's orders."
MMR is a leading provider of secure and easy-to-use Personal Health Records through its MyMedicalRecords
PHR, and MMRPro
document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals
. The Company also offers the MyEsafeDepositBox
solution which provides an online site to securely store important legal, financial, insurance and other important documents as
well as medical and personal health information. MMR's health IT patent portfolio, which dates back to filings in 2005, currently consists of 13 issued U.S. 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. In
addition to the U.S., MMR has patents issued, pending and/or applied for in 11 other countries or regional authorities of commercial interest including Australia, Singapore, New
Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Israel and Europe.
Although the Company's primary focus is as a provider and licensor of health information technology products and services, it has a growing list of patents related to cancer-
fighting anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies under the title, "Antibodies and Methods For Making and Using Them," issued in the U.S., Mexico, Australia and South Korea with patents
pending in the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Europe, Japan and Korea. The Company also holds additional patents pertaining to a B-cell idiotype vaccine
worldwide.
