Court Limits Claim Construction in MyMedicalRecords Patent Litigation


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - May 29, 2014) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF), through its wholly owned subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (collectively, "MMR"), today announced that on May 28th, the United States District Court, Central District of California issued a significant order in the MyMedicalRecords, Inc. patent cases against Quest Diagnostics, Inc., WebMD Health Corp. et al, Jardogs, LLC and Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. The order was issued in advance of an upcoming Markman hearing and pertains to scheduling of a joint technology tutorial and the Court's review of a Statement of Joint Claim Construction filed on May 27, 2014. As part of its review, the Court reminded the parties of limitation of terms for purposes of claims construction. The Court found that the joint report included large portions of the claim language, which the Court said was impermissible and improper. Therefore, the Court struck the deficient statement and ordered the parties to resubmit a statement by June 5th, 2014. According to Robert H. Lorsch, MMRGlobal CEO, "MMR welcomed the Court's order and looks forward to the filing of a fully compliant Amended Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing statement. We also look forward to completion of the Markman process including the joint technology tutorial only weeks away."

According to Ted Ward, an attorney for MMRGlobal, "MMR views this order as a significant development in these patent cases, demonstrating the Court's preference in streamlining this litigation and forcing the parties to identify and narrow the case to the most important issues."

The Court also ordered that the technology tutorial hearing, originally scheduled for July 2, 2014, will now take place on June 18, 2014. The Court expects the parties to meet and confer and present a tutorial that explains the technology disclosed in the patents. The tutorial should provide a neutral objective overview of the technology. (Additional information on filings pertaining to this case can be found at www.pacer.gov)
