MMRGlobal Shareholder Update on Walgreens Litigation


LOS ANGELES, CA, Dec 02, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- MyMedicalRecords, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF) (collectively, "MMR"), today announced that Walgreen Co. filed a Joint Stipulation requesting additional time to respond to a motion brought by MyMedicalRecords. The November 26, 2013 filing states, amongst other things, that during the week of November 11, 2013 and prior to filing MMR's motion, the parties engaged in various telephone conversations regarding a resolution to MMR's patent infringement case against Walgreen Co. filed in the United States District Court, Central District Case No.: CV13-00631-ODW (SHx). Ultimately the parties agreed to an in-person meeting at Walgreen Co. in Deerfield, IL on Tuesday, November 19, which meeting did occur.



The parties continued to exchange e-mails regarding a resolution to the litigation after the November 19th in-person meeting and continue to discuss a resolution of the matter notwithstanding the pending motion.

As set forth in the stipulation, another follow-up meeting is currently scheduled for December 3, 2013. The parties desire to focus on a potential resolution over the next week and a half instead of incurring costs and attorneys' fees associated with this matter.


Based upon the joint resolution, the court granted the stipulation.
