Shareholder Update & Roadmap for MyMedicalRecords Patent Portfolio

LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/24/14 — (OTCQB: MMRF), through its wholly owned subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (collectively, “MMR”), today announced that the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued an order in response to a motion for judgment on the pleadings agreeing that claims 8-12 of U.S. Patent No. 8,301,466 (“the –466 patent”) were directed towards an abstract idea and therefore not directed towards patent eligible subject matter. The –466 patent contains 15 claims, 10 of which are not affected by the Order. The ruling also does not affect other portions of MMR–s health information technology patent portfolio which, dating back to filings in 2005, currently includes 13 U.S. patents (with over 300 issued claims), 18 additional pending U.S. patent applications (with over 300 claims), nine foreign patents, including two in Australia, two in Mexico, with others in New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Canada, and 25 other pending patent applications in foreign countries. The Court–s Order does not affect these other patents.

MyMedicalRecords, Inc. will continue to pursue opportunities to monetize its 13 U.S. patents with more than 300 existing claims where appropriate in the burgeoning health information technology marketplace. In the meantime, MMR continues to offer its products and services to enter into license agreements with healthcare professionals including pharmacy chain retailers.

MyMedicalRecords, Inc. also received an order regarding a portion of a September 3, 2014 Claim Construction ruling which construed the term “means for scheduling prescription refills” found in three claims of its 8,498,883 patent (“the –883 patent”) to be indefinite. There are a total of 28 claims in the –883 patent, a number of which MMR believes are not affected by the Court–s Order. The Company and its patent attorneys remain confident in their positions as to all of MMR–s claims, and plans on appealing the Court–s decisions to address the validity of the patents at the appellate level sooner than later.
