MMRGlobal & Defendants in Patent Suits Amenable to Settlement Talks in Federal Appellate Mediation Program


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 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."
